Working closely with public, private, not-for-profit and academic organisations, we:

• are a leading provider of healthy lifestyle programmes for children and families in local communities  
  

• offer weight management programmes for adults in leisure settings
  

• provide the knowledge, skills, resources and training that professionals, community champions and organisations need to:
  

• prevent people from becoming unhealthy as a result of inactivity or poor food choices
  

• treat people who are above a healthy weight (and therefore more at risk of developing chronic diseases including cardio-vascular disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers)
  

• develop innovative ways to improve public health and encourage healthier lifestyles, using our extensive research.
