Its London Poverty Week and Lambeth Council has been sharing daily tips on social media on healthy eating to help us all make better food choices. Information on Food banks, weight management and support with meals is also set out on the web page.
Also, Lambeth’s has a pioneering pilot scheme offering free fruit and vegetables on prescription to residents with health needs, such as high blood pressure. The BBC Radio 4’s Food Programme interviewed Councillor Jim Dickson and Dr Bimpe Oki, Public Health Consultant at the Council as part of the show which airs on 22 October.
