Lambeth Wellbeing Fund – grants now available to create community connections and improve wellbeing

Lambeth Wellbeing Fund invites applications from projects led by residents and local organisations who are improving the health and wellbeing of people in the borough.

Cllr Lucy Caldicott,  Lambeth Council’s Joint Cabinet Lead for Health and Social Care, said: “This continuing partnership with the health and charity sectors focuses on improving the wellbeing and quality of life for Lambeth residents.
