Children & Family weight management support
As we, all know the effects of COVID 19 and frequent lockdowns has meant that we have spent a significant amount of the last few years being isolated and cooped up indoors. As such, we have seen a significant rise in our Tameside children and young people suffering from increased weight gain, leading to obesity.
FUEL 4 FUN PLUS
This is a Tier 2 weight management intervention, which supports, promotes and empowers families to implement healthy lifestyle changes. A multi-agency partnership between Tameside Early Help, Children’s Nutrition Team and Active Tameside aims at supporting children and young people that are overweight and/or obese.
There are three levels of support available:
Green, Amber and
Red. Each come with a different level of intervention.
Do you know any children and young people who may benefit from this support? If so, please contact myself and I will be happy to discuss the packages of support on offer.
