Lambeth Together is proud to support Alcohol Awareness Week, shining a spotlight on the powerful journeys of peer mentors who have overcome alcohol addiction and are now helping others do the same.
Ruth Hutt, Director of Public Health at Lambeth Council, said: “We’re extremely proud of the peer mentors we have in Lambeth, who play an integral role in supporting people on their journey to recovery from substance and alcohol addiction.

The NHS and partners across south east London are joining over 5,000 community groups across the UK to raise awareness of the true cost of alcohol during this year’s Alcohol Awareness Week, which runs from 3rd to 9th July.
South East London Integrated Care System (or ICS) is encouraging people to get involved in the week by talking about how much alcohol costs us in the form of health problems, financial worries, relationship breakdown and family difficulties.
