Family Action are delighted to share details of their upcoming term of free Change4Life Clubs for local children and families, which start after the half term break.
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, 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.
