YOUNGSTERS will be given the chance to kick-start a healthier lifestyle as part of a new initiative to prevent obesity.
Called Alive and Kicking, the programme is open to five to 16 year olds and sets out to advise and give youngsters practical support on diet and physical activity, helping participants to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
Parents will be encouraged to participate in the sessions, which will run over three months, including cookery challenges and fun forms of exercise. Following the national trend, obesity is a growing issue in the borough and children are particularly at risk.
