We’re looking for people to run, jog or stroll for South London and Maudsley, and help us to provide even more world class care that goes above and beyond. Whatever your level of fitness, we’ve got two great upcoming events that you can take part in.
Royal Parks Half Marathon, 13.1 miles – Sunday 12 October. *Registration closes Wednesday 20 August*
This is one of the most scenic half marathons in the running calendar, taking in some of the best sights of central London. Check out the photos from 2013.
Visit our website for more information. Or, sign up today for just £50, and try to raise £400.
Or, if you’re not ready for a half marathon but still want to get involved, please join us at the first ever Kia Oval 5k Fun Run on Saturday 13 September. Whether you love to run or prefer to stroll, we’re inviting everyone to the official test ground for the England Cricket Team. Visit our website to register and for more information.
*Early bird registration closes Wednesday 13 August and under 16s take part for FREE!*
Do you know someone who’d like to take part in either of these events? If so, please forward this email on. Our events are open to everyone!

Lloyd Park, Croydon
24th May 2014
Positive Steps is back on this year and we are expecting it to be bigger and better than last year!
You can see all the photos from last year on our Facebook page.
We had a brilliant pilot event in 2013, everyone involved had fun and we raised a bit of cash too. So the date is in the diary, the park is booked and we are keen to get your registrations in early.
Last year, the amazing Ronnie Corbett came to open the event. We are yet to confirm who will be opening the 2014 event and we will release this information as soon as we can!

Talking about Talking therapies event
Posted: March 24, 2014 Filed under: Southwark | Tags: ccg, engagement event, events, Mental Health, NHS Southwark Clinical Commissioning Group, online survey, oppourtunity, Patient and Public involvement, Southwark residents, Talking therapies event, Therapies Leave a commentHello,
I hope this finds you well and that you have been able to enjoy some of the recent sunshine. We wanted to remind you about our next patient and public engagement event and invite you to join us and contribute to the discussions.
Talking about Talking Therapies
Following a review in 2013 it was found that there was not equal access to talking therapies for all Southwark residents. As a result the CCG are in the process of evolving a service specification for future talking therapies in Southwark and are seeking the views of local residents to inform its development. Further background details about why we are doing this and what patients have previously told us can be found on the Get Involved pages of the CCG website page.
To explore this with local people we are having an engagement event on 8 April to discuss the options. You can book for the engagement event online directly (or by contacting 020 7525 7888) and the full details can be seen on the flyer which is also attached here: Talking therapy event flyer April 2014.
If you are unable to attend this event but still want to contribute you can complete the online survey as well. You do not have to have used talking therapies in Southwark to be involved, we want to hear from local people to inform how future services can best meet the needs of as many people in Southwark as possible.
We would be very grateful if you could share this information, including the link to the online survey (https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/talkingtherapy), as widely as possible to enable as many different people to contribute as we can.
Kind regards
