LEAP

 

What is LEAP?

A free NHS weight management group with healthy eating and fun sports activities run by a Dietitian and a local exercise instructor. Each week there is a healthy eating topic to focus on and some group exercise. There are weekly weigh-ins once the 12 week course finishes.

The aim is to lose weight sensibly and gradually then keep it off by learning about eating well and by being a bit more active.
