More than 400 residents from across the borough attended the Age Well Festival at the Oval cricket ground on Saturday 5 October 2024, hosted by Lambeth Council’s Age Friendly team.
A key priority for Lambeth Together is to improve health and care to our older residents.
Over the weekend, we hosted a marquee at the Lambeth Country Show, alongside Active Lambeth, providing information on a range of health and care services for residents. The marquee drew in visitors keen to take advantage of free blood pressure checks and valuable advice from staff across the Borough’s health and care partnership.
The message of Mental Health Awareness Week, which runs from 13 to 19 May, is ‘Moving more for mental health’. Throughout the week, Active Lambeth Leisure Centres will be running a host of free activities for Lambeth residents to get moving and boost their mental wellbeing.
For Great Mental Health Day on January 26, Lambeth Council invited mental health specialist Juney Muhammad from South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM) to lead a discussion with voluntary groups on recognising and supporting people who might be struggling with their mental wellbeing.
