On Saturday March 15 2025, Lambeth Town Hall was abuzz with energy and excitement as the SHERO event unfolded, dedicated to reclaiming Black women’s and family health. The event brought together a vibrant community of attendees, speakers, and performers, all united by a common goal: to empower and educate about sexual and reproductive health in the Black community.
More than 400 local people joined a special health and wellbeing day on Saturday for the borough’s Black communities. It combined culture, entertainment, stalls, health screening, sports and expert support to highlight and improve health issues.
It was organised by Lambeth Together – a partnership between Lambeth Council, the NHS and the voluntary sector – alongside the inspire programme which was set up after the Covid-19 pandemic to tackle the big health inequalities faced by Black people in London.
