Public Health England data shows that over 12% of adults in Lambeth still smoke.
Research has shown that those who stop smoking for 28 days are five times more likely to quit for good. No matter how long you’ve smoked for, quitting can improve your health straight away.
We’re all getting older. Why wait to make the most of it?
Age UK Lambeth has started a resilient ageing project to help us all listen to each other and then act together: appreciating and doing more with what’s good about ageing in Lambeth, preventing and dealing with problems, and increasing everyone’s wellbeing across the borough.
We are looking for community members to help us improve health and wellbeing in Lambeth.
The Neighbourhood Health and Wellbeing Alliance, one of Lambeth Together’s four workstreams, are now recruiting community members to join us.
We are looking for people living in Lambeth, who have experience of using its health and care services, to help the Lambeth Neighbourhood Health and Wellbeing Alliance.
Earlier this week we were delighted to announce Andrew Eyres’ appointment as Strategic Director: Integrated Health and Care for Lambeth Together in a new joint role between Lambeth CCG and the London Borough of Lambeth.
This joint appointment demonstrates our commitment and ambitions for partnership working in the borough to improve the health and wellbeing of Lambeth people.
