Lambeth Council is hosting its second free Ageing Well festival at the Kia Oval on 5 October 2024, from 11am to 3pm to celebrate the commitment to becoming an age friendly borough. It will be a fun and social day with information and advice stalls, activities, food and entertainment tailored to residents aged 50 and older.
Lambeth is one of the first local authorities chosen to pilot health checks in workplaces and online that will protect more than 130,000 people across the country from diseases such as heart disease, kidney disease and diabetes.
Lambeth Council has been selected to run two new pilot programmes that aim to cut the risk of diseases of the heart and circulatory system (cardiovascular disease).
More than 400 local people joined a special health and wellbeing day on Saturday for the borough’s Black communities. It combined culture, entertainment, stalls, health screening, sports and expert support to highlight and improve health issues.
It was organised by Lambeth Together – a partnership between Lambeth Council, the NHS and the voluntary sector – alongside the inspire programme which was set up after the Covid-19 pandemic to tackle the big health inequalities faced by Black people in London.
It’s time to nominate unpaid carers and those who support them for the Lambeth’s Carers Awards 2024. Tell us about someone who goes above and beyond to care for others in our community, and let’s give them the recognition they deserve.
