Kickstart

Kickstart is a free 10 week family focused programme run by Central London Community Healthcare Trust for overweight children aged 6-12 years centred on nutrition education, cooking skills and physical activity. The programme aims to improve eating habits, decrease sedentary behaviour and increase physical activity using behaviour change strategies.

The programme is run by a paediatric dietitian, nutrition assistant and physical activity instructor. Programmes are available in the South of Westminster at St Saviours Church Hall (near Pimlico station) and the North of Westminster at the Stowe centre. Programmes commence the week beginning 2nd January 2012.

To attend either programme children must attend with a parent or carer and must meet one of the following criteria:
