MEND 7-13 (Mind, Exercise, Nutrition, Do-it) is a healthy lifestyle programme designed to help children above a healthy weight range. MEND 7-13 combines the three essential elements necessary for safe, effective weight management and a sustained lifestyle change: exercise and physical activty; good nutrition and a balanced diet; and behaviour change. This integrated approach provides families with a foundation for feeling fitter, healthier, and happier – for the rest of their lives.
MEND is not a diet and does not emphasise rapid weight loss, as this is known to be dangerous for growing children. MEND provides a responsible, reliable and effective foundation for healthy living.
The programme comprises 20, two-hour sessions attended by the whole family over a 10 week period (2 evenings per week). All sessions include an hour of fun, game-based activity.
Programmes run three times per year (term-time). For more information or to see if your family would be eligable for a place, please call the MEND Team on 01204 462694.
The MEND Friendly Rap
MEND was a program,
To which I was introduced,
It was necessary, for my body,
It had to be reduced,
We learnt lots of things,
And performed activities
All working towards,
The ending festivities,
The people in the program,
Their stuff they really knew it,
That’s why I was happy,
To use my Mind,
Do the Exercise,
Learn about Nutrition,
And Do it.
