In the UK, one in five men dies before reaching the age of 65. Certain groups, including those who are unemployed and men from specific ethnic backgrounds, are more at risk than others. Men’s Health Week aims to address this by giving all boys and men the information and support they need to live healthier, longer and more fulfilling lives.
Taking place from 10-16 June, Carers Week seeks to ‘put carers on the map’. Lambeth is home to over 18,000 unpaid carers, looking after friends and family members who wouldn’t be able to get by without their support.
Lambeth Council, NHS South East London and local partners including Carers Hub Lambeth, have committed to making visibility, recognition, identification and awareness of carers one of our seven priorities for supporting carers in the new Lambeth Carers Strategy.
