WEIGHT-LOSS FOR FIVE TO SEVEN-YEAR-OLDS

Comments (0)

19 January 2009

A FREE weight-loss programme for children aged five to seven is being introduced as part of a national initiative to promote a healthier lifestyle.

The MEND programme is offering a pilot scheme to families, encouraging parents to change their children's eating habits, as well as to become more active.

The one hour, 45 minute classes, which are on a first come first served basis, take place on Wednesday afternoons from 4-6pm at the Columbo Centre in Blackfriars.

Demand is expected to be high after the successful seven to thirteen-year-olds programme that MEND carried out last year.

Anna Potter, Programme Manager at the Columbo Centre MEND five to sevens programme, said: "The MEND Programme for five to sevens can really change families' lives. We offer a friendly relaxed atmosphere, to encourage children to give new things a go.

"Children become healthier, fitter and happier. We urge families to take the chance to improve their health with this fantastic free course."

If you are interested, call MEND on 0800 230 0263.
