Coalition to change the eating habits of the nation
COMMUNITY workers and volunteers have been invited to join the first national coalition of its kind to change the nation's eating habits, encourage more active lifestyles and help stem the rising tide of childhood obesity.
Change4Life aims to change the nation's eating habits by building a broad coalition from all walks of life to help families be more active, eat better and live longer.
Obesity levels have risen sharply in recent years, with a worrying 28 per cent of children in the north east considered overweight or obese.
Clear advice and support will be provided via community resources, guidance from local health professionals, web tools, television programming, food and recipe suggestions from local supermarkets and suggestions on creative ways to travel to and from work or school.
These could include school walking buses, cooking clubs, swimming clubs and safe play areas.
To find out more, and register your interest in Change4Life, visit www.change4life.co.uk or call 0300 123 3434.
