Healthy4Life

The next Healthy4Life programmes will begin on:

• Tuesday 30 April from The Lakeside Centre (ages 8-14)

• Wednesday 1 May from The Oxford Centre (ages 5-10)

Healthy4Life is a family focussed after school programme which aims to help children and parents/carers make positive changes to their lifestyle to maintain a healthy weight.

The free 10 week course involves attending group based sessions with other families once a week and covers topics such as:

• what is a balanced diet

• portion sizes

• learning about sugar and fat

• understanding food labels

• trying new foods

• five ways to wellbeing

• opportunities to prepare meals

• how to reduce screen time

Children also take part in sport and activity sessions to help them figure out what they enjoy doing to be physically active.

You can find out more about children’s weight on the Better Health Families website.
