Thriving Norwood is a community led project designed to improve the wellbeing of our neighbourhood.
We aim to achieve this in two ways
For our community, by:
- connecting residents to local social and community activities, including two new Health & Wellbeing 'one-stop-shop' Hubs, that improve wellbeing and resilience and reduce health inequalities
- signposting the community to support and service providers such as the NHS and Lambeth Council as well as local organisations.
And for service providers, project organisers, local NGO's, community & volunteer organisations, local Councillors and Lambeth officers, by:
- facilitiating an information sharing health & wellbeing network and building a database of that information
- holding monthly themed online meetings alongside regular networking events with specialist speakers designed to increase knowledge and encourage new connections to be made.
Background to Thriving Norwood
In 2021 Norwood Forum was invited to be a founder member of the Gipsy Hill Health & Wellbeing Hub, a new partnership initative started by Lambeth Public Health and driven forward by a community led consortium, of which we are currently co-Chair.
As part of this project, Norwood Forum was commissioned by Lambeth Public Health to launch and run a scheme to fund health and wellbeing projects for the residents of Gipsy Hill. Full background to this project can be found here.

In 2022, the Hub became part of Lambeth's Thriving Network and is now renamed Thriving Norwood.
