MEND it!

21 September 2007

Are you worried about your child's weight?

If your 7-13 year old lives or goes to school in Southwark and you are concerned that they are overweight and unhealthy, why not try to MEND it?

The MEND programme gets kids healthier and fitter in only 9 weeks - and helps them stay that way!

Each session includes:

fun games and activities for kids
techniques to improve your children's behaviour and confidence
enjoyable, practical activities on healthy eating, and daily meal planning to improve the whole family's diet.

What’s more, at the end of the 9 week programme, you will get a FREE 3 month swiming pass, so your child can carry on exercising even after MEND is over!

Although the programme is free for you and your child to attend, we will need to assess whether your child qualifies based on their age, weight and health. Currently we are running programmes starting in October 2007 and January 2008.

If you are interested in taking part in MEND call 020 7525 0286 or email healthy.southwark@southwarkpct.nhs.uk
