New Keep It In The Family Programmes coming to Cornwall!

Provider: Exhale

Keep It In The Family is a 6 month programme amied at children aged between 7 - 14 years, who are obese or overweight, and their families.

Phase 1 (12 weeks) of the programme involves the child and their family attending a twice weekly session, held locally, where they all learn about nutrition, healthy lifestyles and do fun, family-orientated activities.

Phase 2 (7 weeks) involve one weekly session of healthy family cooking, and one weekly session of fun activity - this can be anything from coasteering or surfing to biking on the camel trail or orienteering on the moors. The families get to set the programme theirselves and all activities are provided free of charge.

Phase 3 (7 weeks) sees the family encouraged and supported to join existing local clubs or activities, again provided free of charge.

The emphasis of the programme is fun, family involvement, providing the whole family with lots of little ways to change their lifestyles and become more healthy and active.

Programmes will be starting this January 2011 in Bodmin, Newquay and Hayle. If you would like to be referred to the programme, or would like to refer some-one, please contact us.
