What we do
The ONE YOU service provides free weight loss programmes that can support individuals to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight for life. It covers information on portion control, food labelling, physical activity, behaviour change and healthy nutritional advice. We offer informative and interactive weekly group sessions to give you the skills and information to take control of your own weight loss. This service is aimed at overweight adults with a Body Mass index (BMI) of 30-40 with up to one chronic condition (27.5+ for residents from BAME communities). We provide this service in various locations as well as online via group meeting platforms.
The scheme offers ongoing weight checks after 12 weeks for up to 12 months, for continued weight loss and weight maintenance.
