We’re proud to welcome our newest Community Supporters, Lambeth Links, to Health Foundry. Read on to find out more about who they are and what they from their CEO Chris French.

Lambeth Links is the LGBTQ+ forum for Lambeth, which is home to the largest resident population of LGBTQ+ people in the UK.

February is an important month for us. It’s LGBTQ+ History Month and also the anniversary of Lambeth Links becoming a registered charity. As a totally volunteer led organisation, it’s a proud achievement for us!

I founded Lambeth Links as I saw a need for a central point of rallying and coordinating on behalf of our community. There are so many missing links across social care, housing, police interactions and most importantly, health.

It’s one of the reasons I’m so excited to be able to base Lambeth Links out of Health Foundry and to get to know you, what you do and how we can work together to help make Lambeth a vanguard in LGBTQ+ health provision.

My personal ambition is to turn Lambeth into a place that others look to as shining example of how to engage and include the LGBTQ+ community in their healthcare needs, be they mental, physical or sexual.
