We aim to provide healthy lifestyle courses to help obese young people not only to lose weight but to increase in confidence and self esteem. Research reports that obese children are greatly disadvantaged socially and academically. Stigma and discrimination often prevents obese young people achieving their best potential. We actively encourage young people to be included in all our developments using their experiences to promote quality services specifically to meet their individual needs.

Obesity is one of the biggest killers and with 60% of our population being overweight or obese, every family is likley to know of someone who could be helped. There is little understanding at present of the serious consequences to children which often results in physical illnesses such as heart problems and diabetes and psychological problems such as low self esteem and depression. We aim to support such families but also to look at preventative measures to save children suffering in future.
