Mend Teens

Date: 7 Jul 2012

Do you want to be Fitter, Healthier and Happier?

If so, why not join MEND Teens?

MEND Teens is a FREE, fun 10-week healthy lifestyle programme for 13 to 16-year-olds and their parents or carers starting in September at Stratton Community Leisure Centre, Grange Drive, Stratton St Margaret, Swindon SN3 4JY.

Sessions will be after school on Monday and Wednesday afternoons from 4-6pm, starting on Monday 17th September 2012.  For the first hour of every session, the group takes part in an interactive healthy eating workshop; the young people then spend the second hour exercising while the parents and carers discuss specific topics in more detail together.

MEND Teens is a programme for young people who are above a healthy weight.  To find out more about MEND Teens, please contact Emma Sperring on 01793 465412 or 07818 510563 or email esperring@swindon.gov.uk  Further information about MEND Teens can also be found on the MEND website: www.mendcentral.org
