Explore what we’re learning about improving health in cities.
Children's mental health
Zack, 7, lives with his mum and sister in Southwark. He has not yet been formally diagnosed. He is bubbly and energetic, but can be quick to explode and have full-blown tantrums.
Raina, 18, and Audrey, 14 live together with their mother in Southwark. Raina has no official diagnosis, but has a suspected form of affective disorder, and Audrey has been diagnosed with OCD, depression, and anxiety.
Jaydan, 11, lives with his dad and brother in Lambeth. Jaydan was diagnosed with ADHD while he was living with his mum, and is currently being assessed through CAMHS to see if he has autism.
Data and analytics
Our data team investigate what the 2021 census reveals about Lambeth and Southwark.

Children's health and food
We joined over 25 innovative food brands, investors and business support providers in calling on the Government to reconsider the U-turn on restrictions of promotions of HFSS products.
Air pollution is an urgent public health crisis and a social justice issue. We must seize this unique opportunity to tell Government to prioritise clean air.
If the Government is serious about addressing health inequality, it must set ambitious targets for clean air.
