Lewisham Council has approved a 12-month contract extension for the Lewisham Wellbeing Hub, operated by Together for Mental Wellbeing. The decision, made during a Mayor and Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, January 21, 2026, ensures the continuation of vital mental health support services while a comprehensive review of the borough's voluntary sector provision for mental health is conducted.
Councillor Paul Bell, Cabinet Member for Health, Wellbeing and Adult Social Care, presented the proposal, highlighting the importance of maintaining continuity of care for residents. The extension will allow the council to undertake a borough-wide review of mental health voluntary sector provision, a process which may affect other mental health service providers in Lewisham, though no specific organisations have been named.
The Lewisham Wellbeing Hub provides essential support to individuals experiencing mental health challenges. The contract extension will enable the hub to continue its operations without interruption during this review period.
The decision is detailed in the 'Contract Extension Proposal for the Lewisham Wellbeing Hub provided by Together for Wellbeing' report, which can be found here.
