Derbyshire County Council have provided us with the following information for our parents;
'We know that being overweight is a major health problem and that the number of overweight adults and children continue to rise. Younger and younger children are affected and as many as 1 in 4 children now start school overweight.
Would you be interested in finding out more about our HENRY 8 week courses? They run once a week for 3 hours and aim to include information on how weight affects health and why a healthy weight is important. In addition to weight the course also covers the importance of being active and offers hints and tips of what families can do to become more active together as well as receiving charts, place settings showing portion sizes, steps in growing and balancing the plate and other resources.
on completion, parents/carers will have an increased understanding of the knowledge and skills required to equip their children with the ability to resist the pressures of modern life that encourage inactivity and weight gain.
If you are interested please contact;
Robyn Hughes 01629 532079 or robyn.hughes@derbyshire.gov.uk or
Jo Glassbrook 01629 532057 or jo.glassbrook@derbyshire.gov.uk
We look to have around 10 people at each session, the course is free to parents and carers.'
