Parents Change4Life Together

The devlopment of a new parenting programme has been developed as part of the Sheffield Let’s Change4Life Programme. Change4Life Together is a healthy lifestyles programme for parents to implement the 8 change4life key messages in their home.

So far two pilot programmes have taken place running with parents of children from Fox Hill Primary, Southey Green Primary, Mansel Primary and Meynell Primary Schools.

Participants reported that they had made a number changes that were making a difference to their familes lifestyles. Amongst other things familes reported eating less sugar, particulary sugary drinks and cereals, making healthly snack swaps, reading food labels, buying smaller plates, eating smaller portions and finding ways for their family to be more active.

A further 4 pilot programmes will be delivered during the autumn term and a 3 day facilitator training course is planned to take place in September.
