Fitter, healthier, happier families
MEND (Mind, Exercise, Nutrition…Do it!) is an organisation dedicated to reducing global childhood overweight and obesity levels.
We are a social enterprise, working with local, regional, national and international partners to achieve our shared vision of fitter, healthier and happier families.
Together with our partners, we offer free local healthy living programmes to families: the MEND Programme for 7-13 year olds who are above a healthy weight, and the Mini-MEND Programme for 2-4 year olds, whatever their weight. We also offer training courses for people who come into contact with overweight children in order that they can provide the best possible support.
Our highly successful MEND Programme was devised at the world renowned Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children and the University College London Institute of Child Health. Thanks to support from our partners from the private, public and not-for-profit sectors, families are now taking part in more than 300 programmes across the UK every term. We are now taking our work to other countries, including Australia, Denmark and the United States.
Of course, you’ll want to know to know more and how we may be able to help. Whether you’re a parent or child, a potential partner (funding or delivery), or a health professional, the buttons on the right should answer your questions.
