What do you get from your investment in MEND?

MEND will be beneficial to you in a number of different ways.Listed below you will find the main advantages of running and supporting a MEND programme:

1. Improved health and well-being of children and their families

MEND's real benefits lie in improving the health, fitness, diet and nutritional knowledge of obese and overweight children and their families in your local community. This has many ancillary benefits, such as improved self-esteem, reduced bullying and greatly improved family relationships. In parallel, the MEND Programme reduces the combined £7.4 bn cost of obesity to the National Health Service, businesses and the community.

2. A full toolkit containing everything you will need

3. Other valuable benefits of a MEND programme:

Implementing government policy and mandates, and achieving White Paper targets relating to obesity
