Statement on violent disorder

The racist violence which is taking place across the UK is profoundly shocking and distressing. There is no place in our society for the violence, racism and Islamophobia that we have been witnessing. We know that these events are causing real distress and anxiety for many people across London, particularly those from racialised and minoritised communities. Nobody’s mental health and wellbeing should suffer because of who they are or where they live.

Launched by the Mayor of London in September 2019 and led by ThriveLDN, the citywide #ZeroSuicideLDN campaign has now supported more than 400,000 people across the capital to access free, online suicide prevention training – equipping them with the skills they may need to help someone in crisis.

Case study: reducing social isolation and improving mental wellbeing amongst older adults in Newham

Founded in 2019 by a former social worker and public health advisor, Aishah Help is a UK-based women-led organisation that supports disadvantaged communities to achieve their personal, social and economic potential. The organisation participated in Good Thinking’s Small Grants Programme that ran across the London Borough of Newham in 2024. The purpose of the programme was to train organisations to become Good Thinking ‘superusers’ to raise awareness of the wide range of resources available to support better mental health and wellbeing within local communities across the borough.
