What is it about?

• Children and their families will learn about being healthy, fit and active.
• The programme will support local children who are at risk of being overweight, to start and continue healthy eating and physical activity programmes with the support of their families
• The Fit for life programme is based on the latest research which shows that the best way for your children to be fit and healthy is to eat a healthy diet and being more physically active.

The Programme aims to:

• Each week will consist of at least 45 minutes of exercise
