We are currently recruiting for our seventh MEND programme starting in 2009.
MEND - which stands for Mind, Exercise, Nutrition...Do It! - is a scientifically designed progamme to combat obesity by involving the entire family in a healthy eating and active lifestyle plan.
MEND programmes are led by a fully qualified dietician and exercise leaders.
Families on the programme will need to commit to attending two sessions per week for nine weeks, and will be given advice and information on topics from nutrition and fussy eating to reading food labels and setting goals and rewards.
As part of the programme, children and adults will be able to take part in a wide range of physical activity sessions, from sports hall games to fun splash in the pool."
Programmes are supported by Sainsbury's, Youth Sports Trust, Sheffield PCT, Sheffield Children's Hospital and Sheffield City Council.
