Do you find exercising boring? Not anymore thanks to the exciting children and young people’s weight management and treatment service brought to you by Wigan council.
The Fit 4 Fun Academy aims to combat the steady rise in childhood obesity by offering advice and support for young people aged 5-17 years who are overweight or obese, and their families. The best part is, the service is absolutely free!
Fit 4 Fun encourages young people and their families to participate in a variety of innovative weight management, nutrition and physical activity programmes.
The programmes are designed to increase physical activity levels, self confidence and self esteem by encouraging families to make small changes and lead a healthier life.
A health care professional or parent/carer can refer a child or young person to the Fit 4 Fun Academy. Once a referral form has been completed and sent to the Fit 4 Fun Academy, you will be contacted by a member of the team with a date and time for the appointment.
At your consultation a Fit 4 Fun officer will carry out a health and lifestyle assessment and discuss the most suitable programme for you and your family to attend.
