What we offer

MEND provides programmes, services and resources to help children and families learn how to improve their health, fitness and the way they feel about their bodies.

All of these elements help families manage their weight better and lead healthier lives, contributing to national and international efforts to prevent and treat overweight and obesity in children.

We currently offer two different programmes which families can join, the MEND Programme  for overweight children aged 7-13 and their parents or carers and the Mini-MEND Programme an early years’ healthy lifestyle programme for 2-4 year olds and their families, whatever the child's weight.

We also run training days for professionals who interact with children, our One Day Childhood Obesity Seminar

Coming soon

We will soon be offering more services, which will be available in the coming months. These include programmes for 5-7 year olds and expectant mothers as well as educational resources for use in primary schools.

We are also adapting our services for different countries and cultures so that more people can benefit from them.
