LD Body Benefits

The Body Benefits team works with LD North East to deliver a 10 week programme to those living in North Tyneside with a learning disability who want to learn more about a healthy lifestyle.

Each weekly session is split in two, with part one focused on a specific topic, and part two centred on introducing different forms of entry level exercise, to help people get a flavour for different ways to be physically active - in the hope that everybody will find something they enjoy and can continue as part of a healthy lifestyle. All of the programme content has been developed in easy read format.

 LD Body Benefits is a free programme with eligibility criteria. You must be a resident of North Tyneside and have a BMI of 25 or above. Residents with Black, Asian and ethnic minority backgrounds can deduct 2.5 from the BMI threshold.
