What is Child Friendly Lambeth?

As you may know, Lambeth Council has embarked on an ambitious three-to-five-year programme to become a child friendly accredited community through UNICEF. The core of this programme is to ensure that everything we do in Lambeth is underpinned by the rights and voice of the child. Child Friendly Lambeth is a borough-wide partnership programme with participation from the local authority, schools, community groups, voluntary and community sector organisations, local businesses, police, health providers and commissioners.

The Child Friendly Lambeth event
This event is one of many that Child Friendly Lambeth will either be running and/or attending this year. The main aim of this event is to raise the profile of the Child Friendly Lambeth within the borough, and we invite anyone to come along during the day to say hello and enjoy the fun!
 
Child Friendly Lambeth will have a stall where they will give info on the programme, hand out some merchandise and ask children and young people what their priorities are for the borough.

Some of the programme’s partners will also be present to run stalls:

• BIGKID Foundation
• Lambeth Youth Council
• Health and Wellbeing Express bus
• Lambeth Foster Carers
• NHS colleagues
• Libraries and Archives
• Palace for Life

The following programme of activities and performances will be held during the afternoon:

When: Saturday 19 March from 12 noon.

Where: Windrush Square, Brixton, London, SW2 1JQ
