Friday 31 January’s Great Mental Health Day aims to get Lambeth sharing and exploring about small acts of kindness that make a more supportive, caring, and compassionate community.
The theme of this year’s Great Mental Health Day is ‘small actions for others’ – a reminder that we can all do something to spread hope and kindness.
Last week, Lambeth’s Hills, Brook and Dale Primary Care Network and the Eve Appeal welcomed local residents to an open discussion and workshop on womb cancer at Goodwin Hall in West Norwood. This workshop is part of a series organised across south east London by South East London Cancer Alliance (SELCA), promoting screening for womb cancer, cervical cancer and prostate cancer.
London’s newest blood donor centre has opened in the heart of Brixton, encouraging more south east London donors, especially from Black African and Caribbean backgrounds, to come forward.
Developed by NHS Blood and Transplant in collaboration with community leaders, local businesses and residents, and located on the main shopping artery, Brixton’s first-ever permanent blood donor centre has been designed to welcome the local community and make donating as easy as possible.
The NHS Blood and Transplant Service are excited to invite you to a special event in Brixton on Sunday 26 January.
This vibrant day will celebrate Black culture through music, food, art, and inspiring guest speakers, while shining a light on the importance of blood donation and raising awareness of Sickle Cell—a blood disorder that primarily affects individuals of African and Caribbean heritage.
