….helping you to eat smart and become more active!

Information Sheet

What is LEAP?

A NHS funded 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 regular weigh-ins once the 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.
