Great Mental Health Day returns on Friday 30 January 2026, encouraging Londoners to talk openly about mental health and to connect with the local support available all year round. Across London, the 2026 theme is ‘everyday spaces’, the places that don’t look like services, but so often become the first place we feel safe enough to say, “I need help.
There’s lots of support available for Lambeth residents who want to quit smoking this New Year. Stop Smoking London has launched “Six for 2026”, a positive, action-focused campaign highlighting six proven ways Londoners can get support to stop smoking. Each option offers a clear, achievable starting point, helping people choose the route that works best for them.
NHS South East London has launched a new illustrated guide to healthcare to help residents find the right care, first time.
