More than 400 residents from across the borough attended the Age Well Festival at the Oval cricket ground on Saturday 5 October 2024, hosted by Lambeth Council’s Age Friendly team.
A key priority for Lambeth Together is to improve health and care to our older residents.
Lambeth is one of the first local authorities chosen to pilot health checks in workplaces and online that will protect more than 130,000 people across the country from diseases such as heart disease, kidney disease and diabetes.
Lambeth Council has been selected to run two new pilot programmes that aim to cut the risk of diseases of the heart and circulatory system (cardiovascular disease).
May Measure Month is a global campaign to screen for high blood pressure. To support this, the Lambeth Together Health and Wellbeing bus will be hosting additional free, drop-in blood pressure checks, with advice from pharmacists and health champions.
