Welcome back to my carer site aimed at those caring for someone unpaid. As a reminder I run several online carer groups, one of them covers the boroughs of Southwark and Lambeth.

News just in for the London Borough of Southwark, that we have our Feel Good Festival for the summer.

The Camberwell Feel Good Festival returns for Summer 2024 with two Saturday festival events, packed full of fun and engaging health and wellbeing activities, free food and music, and vital support services for all ages.

After the fantastic success of last year’s Feel Good Festival, which attracted more than 1000 visitors, SE5 Forum invites everyone to this summer’s festival of wellness, community connection and joy.

I will also be at the festival to promote wellbeing for unpaid carers and also providing information from charities include Carers UK, Macmillan Cancer Support, Parkinsons UK, Age UK, Samaritans and Southwark Carers.

The Feel Good Festival hosts two free health and wellbeing events for the Camberwell community: on Camberwell Green on 6 July and in Ruskin Park on 13 July as well as a community picnic in Myatt’s Fields Park on 27 July.

There will be lots to see and participate at the Feel Good Festival.

• Yoga and physical exercise for all ages

• Children’s active fun and games
• Free lunch and pantry from local food charities
• Children’s no-cook food workshop
