Neighbourhood and Wellbeing Alliance Community Connector

Lambeth Together is a partnership aimed at improving health and wellbeing across Lambeth, uniting a wide range of partners from the voluntary and community sector, NHS, and Lambeth Council.

It focuses on creating an integrated health and care system that addresses the needs of the local population effectively and equitably.

Central to its operation is the Neighbourhood and Wellbeing Alliance (NWDA).

The NWDA has been established since 2018 with the aim of improving the health & wellbeing of adults by working together in local neighbourhoods in Lambeth.

The Alliance is a partnership where collaboration is at the forefront of all projects and programmes to reduce health inequalities, provide better access and improve services to all residents.

Our partners are NHS South East London Integrated Care System, Lambeth Council, Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, Lambeth GP Federation, King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and Age UK Lambeth, as well as our local neighbourhood organisations.

Previous work undertaken by the NWDA can be seen within our progress reports: Neighbourhood and Wellbeing Delivery Alliance (NWDA) Progress Reports - Lambeth Together.

The NWDA is committed to connecting with communities and the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprises (VCFSE) within Lambeth.

We recognise that this requires dedicated expertise.

We are therefore looking for external expertise to act as a 'Community Connector' within the NWDA.
