MEND is a national programme that is available in Brighton & Hove.

MEND is available for two age groups: 5 – 7 and 7 – 13. Both are FREE family-based programmes for children and their families who are above their ideal weight. MEND combines the elements known to be vital for treating and preventing overweight and obesity in children, including family involvement, practical education in nutrition, increasing physical activity and changing behaviour.

MEND is not a diet. It’s about providing participants with the knowledge to build a foundation for healthy living for life.

The Food Partnership is able to deliver these valuable programmes to families for free because of funding received via NHS Brighton & Hove and the Big Lottery.

To find out more or to book a place for you and your child, call 01273 431703.
