Active Families
An active family is a healthy family.Green Prescription (GRx) Active Families is a free programme which targets 5-18 year olds and their families. The programme is designed to provide support, guidance and opportunities to create healthy lifestyles through regular physical activity and healthy eating.The Active Families coordinator will support and guide the family to set achievable goals and increase their level of activity and participation. Healthy nutrition advice is part of the programme and there's also the opportunity to meet and make new friends while working towards worthwhile and positive outcomes. Regular exercise helps maintain a healthy weight, it builds strong muscles and bones, helps protect the heart and benefits mental health as well. Active children are healthier, stronger, more confident, do better in school, sleep better and in general grow up to be healthy fit adults. |
