Labour AM Jeff Cuthbert has welcomed the introduction of a course aimed at encouraging children and their families to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
Children in the Caerphilly constituency who struggle with weight problems can learn how to live a healthier lifestyle on the F3 (Fun, Food and Fitness) 10-week course.
The free NHS course involves one session each week to inspire families to take more exercise and to prepare and eat healthier meals.
Jeff Cuthbert AM said: “As Chair of the National Assembly for Wales’ Cross-Party Group on Healthy Living, I particularly welcome this new initiative.
“There’s no time like the New Year as a kick-start toward a healthier lifestyle – the benefits in terms of personal well-being and finances are well-documented.”
The course will also help families shop for healthy foods on a budget.
The next two F3 programmes will start this month and the nearest classes will be held in Bedwas, with another running in Pontllanfraith.
To join the F3 programme or find out more please contact Sue Norey on 01495 241 292 or e-mail [email protected].
