Change4Life Clubs for local families

New Change4Life Clubs for local children and families, which start after the school Easter holidays.

Change4Life Clubs are a free five-week programme, open to any child (with accompanying parent/carer), young person or expectant parent who lives, attends a state-funded school or children’s centre or is registered with a GP in Kensington and Chelsea or Westminster. Clubs cover a range of health-related topics including healthier eating (including starting solid food for under 1s), increasing physical activity, caring for emotional wellbeing, oral health and getting a good night’s sleep in a fun, welcoming, inclusive and age-appropriate manner, including making food in each session, with participants given an ingredients pack of food or a food/physical activity related item to take home every week.

Families can find out more at www.family-action.org.uk/change4lifeservice, and there is an online registration/referral form for families and professionals here: https://forms.office.com/r/Nq2mCvcLYq
