A Word from our Participants

We are a long standing scheme, which originally started in Hackney in the early 2000s, and some of our team members have been working in this scheme since then. The current version of the scheme began in 2015, and has developed in various ways over the past years.

Our service has grown a great deal, and now receives over 4000 referrals a year from the local community. Our service has also developed to deliver a bespoke range of interventions that are suited to the general public of Hackney. Our decisions and initiatives are made according to what the community needs, and that is why our Weight management scheme and physical activity interventions have successfully shown improvements in health to thousands of people in Hackney.

The health improvements you can expect to see might include, weight loss, reduction in blood pressure, being able to reduce or remove the need for certain medications, improve your mental health, reduce pain, increase your strength and stamina, and many more other positive effects. Our scheme is so effective that the Royal Society of Public Health recognised us as a leading scheme in the United Kingdom, which successfully impacts the lives and health of the community.
