MEND

The MEND (Mind, Exercise, Nutrition, Do it!) programme is a FREE lifestyle course for children aged between 7 and 13 years and their families and has been running in Swale since September 2007. We have great opportunities for children and families to join us on the September 2008 programme running in Sheerness.

On the programme, families will be involved in activities based on food and nutrition e.g. Who wants to be a healthionnarie, food label reading, and the children will play games at every session. The programme is for children who are overweight but their brothers or sisters are welcome to come too and an adult or carer must be there too!

To sign up couldn't be easier, just call the new free phone telephone number 0800 849 4000 to register today.
