Havering Council has launched a new suicide prevention campaign aimed at breaking the silence around suicide and encouraging people to seek available support.

It follows last years’ suicide prevention consultation in Havering, where residents highlighted the urgent need to reduce stigma surrounding suicide.

A new strategy to tackle the harm caused by cigarettes and vaping has been approved by Havering Council’s Cabinet. The five-year plan aims to reduce smoking in order to create a smoke-free society by 2030.
