Black History Month (BHM) is an annual celebration of the contribution that Black African and Caribbean communities have made both locally and across the world.

People of African and African-Caribbean heritage make an invaluable contribution to our life in the UK.

A major plan to improve the health and care of residents in Wandsworth has been launched this week.

To celebrate World Mental Health Day on 10 October, Merton Uplift, free NHS primary care mental health service, is hosting a celebration event to give local people the opportunity to come along and find out more about the services and the benefits it can offer local people.

The Estates and Facilities team would like to make you aware there will be two water shutdowns on Wednesday 25 September and Thursday 26 September.

The team have been working hard to reduce the disruption and therefore will be undertaking the necessary work in two stages, the first stage affecting hot water only.

Every year the Trust celebrates World Mental Health Day on 10 October to demonstrate our support for challenging stigma and celebrate the month with events across our sites to raise awareness of mental health and to stamp out stigma across south west London. The day provides an opportunity "for all stakeholders working on mental health issues to talk about their work, and what more needs to be done to make mental health care a reality for people worldwide". This year's theme set by the World Federation for Mental Health is suicide prevention.

We want to make our care the best it can possibly be and one key component of this is ensuring that our service users have more positive interactions with our staff.

As part of our plans to build two state-of-the-art hospitals you may notice a number of construction works taking place on our Springfield site. Our teams are working closely with staff and patients to minimise disruption but unfortunately as we move through the development there may be a need to make alterations to the site to enable the works to take place.

We are pleased to invite you to attend South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust
