This World AIDS Day, Monday 1 December, boroughs across south east London are working together to strengthen the HIV response and help end new HIV cases by 2030.
By pooling resources and expertise, Lambeth, Southwark, Lewisham, Bexley and Bromley are taking practical steps to make prevention and care more accessible.
Women and girls across Lambeth are benefiting from a series of outreach initiatives designed to give them the support and information needed to manage their health confidently. The project is part of NHS South East London Women’s and Girls’ Health Programme and focuses on four key areas: heavy menstrual bleeding, contraception, pre-conception and menopause.
On 22 October, Lambeth Council, NHS South East London, and The Bridge at Waterloo hosted a borough-wide event bringing together creative practitioners, health professionals, and community organisations. Attendees had the opportunity to share ideas, build connections, and celebrate the role of creativity in supporting health and wellbeing.
