Healthy eating

Advice on healthy eating for all age groups, accessing free and low-cost food, and support for eating disorders.

Free food and vitamins

Free vitamin D

Pregnant women, new mums and children under four in the borough can get free vitamin D supplements. As they grow up, not having enough vitamin D can make your child more at risk of rickets (bowed legs), seizures and even heart failure in rare cases.

You can collect your free vitamin D from these pharmacies in Southwark and Lambeth.

Free healthy food: Healthy Start

Healthy Start is a national scheme for pregnant women and families with children under four who get certain benefits.
