HomeHealthy Families project
Do you want to get fit and improve your eating habits? Maybe you want to encourage your children to do more exercise, or help your family become more active together. If so, our new health and wellbeing project is for you.
We're looking for up to 25 families to take part in our Healthy Families programme, which aims to help people across Belfast become healthier and more active, and raise awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle.
During the project, families will work with a lifestyle mentor for up to one year. They will provide advice about diet and nutrition and help parents and children develop basic healthy cooking skills.
There is no cost to take part in the project, but one member of each family has to be considered obese, with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or more. You must also be able to attend two weekly sessions for the first 13 weeks of the programme.
If you are interested in taking part, email healthyfamilies@belfastcity.gov.uk along your contact name, address and daytime telephone number.
Our staff will then visit families who apply to explain the programme further and outline the commitment involved.
