We're working with The Advocacy Project and Councillor Ketan Sheth to run a new monthly lecture series all about building better health equalities. Each month, Cllr Sheth will host a lively panel discussion on an important health and wellbeing topic.

People who have so far not been vaccinated or have only had one dose are being urged to come forward so that they and their loved ones are protected. Booster vaccines are also now available across Brent. 

In order to vaccinate as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, the local NHS, in partnership with local councils, is providing thousands of additional vaccination appointments. For information on where to get your jab,  how to book and where walk-in jabs may be available,  go to www.nwlondonccg.nhs.uk/coronavirus/vaccine-centres . Please note that the best way to guarantee your jab is to book in advance, as walk-in vaccination will depend on availability.
