Taking those first steps to change your family’s lifestyle can be challenging but we are here to help you through every step of the way. Here’s what some of our service users have to say about our other family weight management programmes: 

“Usually talking about weight loss is stressful, but I didn’t feel that during this programme”

“The sessions were well planned and put across well.  We were told the month before what the next session would be about so we could prepare.”

“The coach was good fun, relaxed and made us all feel welcome.  She gave us all the chance to speak.  Thank you for opening my eyes”
