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
