We're MEND - Mind, Exercise, Nutrition... Do it!
Our vision is a world where we all live fitter, healthier and happier lives.
MEND empowers children and adults to become fitter, healthier and happier and to reach or maintain a healthier weight.
For families
Children and young people can attend our family programmes for different age groups, MEND 2-4, MEND 5-7, MEND 7-13 and now MEND Teens, with their parents or carers.
For adults
Adults can currently join the More Active Health programme and two exciting new adult programmes will launch in 2012: an adult weight management programme and MEND Mums (for new mothers).
