Our Weight Management programmes include workshops, nutritional advice and physical activity alongside behaviour change techniques taught by experts in the field. This means you can not only lose weight, but gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to maintain a healthy lifestyle. 

Adult Weight Management: A group based 12-week programme which aims to support you with managing your weight. Each participant will be encouraged to attend a 2-hour session each week (including a 1-hour workshop and a 1 hour supported exercise session). 

Xplore – Children, Young People and Family Weight Management: A group based 8-week programme for children, young people aged between 4 to 17 years, and their families.
