Lambeth residents are helping to shape a new joined-up neighbourhood health and care approach. Recent workshops, surveys and focus groups run by Healthwatch Lambeth and culminating in their Integrated Neighbourhood Teams (INTs) Community Engagement Report – show a strong call for local, connected and preventive services that are easier to access, more personal, and rooted in community life.
Events held in Lambeth and across London have helped hundreds of Black women access free health checks, advice and HIV testing through Glam Squad events, many for the first time, leaving them better informed, confident and empowered to take control of their health.
Unbound Moving Arts’ Rhythms Club is celebrating after being awarded £6,837 of National Lottery funding from Sport England to help continue its work with older adults in Brixton. The funding will support 41 weeks of free, accessible movement classes for over-60s, delivered in partnership with Age UK Lambeth and MySocial.
