  1. Celebrating Creativity and Wellbeing Week

    Two people look through books and art supplies on a cluttered table during Mental Health Awareness Week Lambeth 2026. Books, zines, circular paper cut-outs, scissors, and a badge-making machine cover the surface; only their hands and arms are visible.

    It’s Creativity and Wellbeing Week! Running from 18 to 24 May 2026, communities across the country are coming together to engage in creative activities, and celebrate their impact on health and wellbeing.

    The benefits of creative health are numerous, from helping to manage long term health conditions to promoting better mental and physical health through:

    • Connection with others
    • The opportunity to learn and develop new skills
    • Moving your body
    • Expressing yourself artistically

    Creative health can also play a role in strengthening community and creating healthier neighbourhoods.

  2. Take action this Mental Health Awareness Week: five steps to wellbeing

    A collage for Mental Health Awareness Week 2026 features people smiling, a woman stroking a goat, a woman beside a café sign, and a group gathered together. Logos for Lambeth Together and Partnership Southwark are shown.

    Monday 11 May marks the beginning of Mental Health Awareness Week this year, and the theme is ‘Action.’ While raising awareness remains essential, ‘taking action’ is vital to lasting change and better health all year round.

    Lambeth Together and Partnership Southwark have created a short video exploring the different ways residents can take action on their mental health through the 5 Steps to Mental Wellbeing.
