Lambeth’s Black Communities Health and Wellbeing Day returns for 2025
Join us for a FREE, family-friendly event dedicated to the health and wellbeing of our Black and African communities on Saturday 25 October. Hosted by Lambeth Together in partnership with the Caribbean and African Health Network (CAHN), health professionals from our local NHS teams will be available throughout the day, ready to answer your questions, give guidance, and help you take steps towards a healthier lifestyle.
Dr Di Aitken GP and Co-Chair, Lambeth Together Care Partnership Board said: “This event is a powerful example of Lambeth Together: Our Health, Our Lambeth in action. We know that communities of African and Caribbean heritage in Lambeth are disproportionately affected by conditions such as diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases such as stroke and chronic kidney disease. They too often face barriers to early support. Our fourth Inspire, Black Communities Health and Wellbeing Day, is a direct response – bringing health checks, trusted advice and open conversations into the community. It’s about tackling inequalities head-on, building confidence and trust, guiding people through the system, and supporting people to take charge of their health.”
Cllr Manley-Browne Lambeth Council’s joint Cabinet Member for Healthier Communities and Chair for the Lambeth Together Care Partnership Board, added: “I’m delighted that this event returns as part of Black History Month. While there’s a serious mission here to tackle health inequalities, it’s also a joyful opportunity to come together, connect, and celebrate our Black communities.
The Inspire Health and Wellbeing Day has always been well-attended and well-loved, and I’m sure this year will be no different. I’d encourage local people to sign up, get involved, and take steps towards improving their health and wellbeing.”
