    Tom (8) embraces healthy changes

    Tom’s Mum said: “The group sessions and the lifestyle ‘experiments’ we did at home have helped to motivate us and make the losing weight goal and healthier living more fun! Tom has really been embracing the changes. He is much happier having his plate loaded up with fruit & veg and we have both been finding healthier snacking options and having the mindset of treats foods only occasionally.”

FAQs

To be eligible for a free place, your family needs to:

  • Have at least one child (age 5-15) who is above the recommended weight for their age and height. You can check in just a few seconds using the NHS BMI calculator.
  • And live in one of our council funded areas (or be registered with a GP or go to school there):
    • Birmingham
    • Brent
    • Brighton & Hove
    • Enfield
    • Gloucester City & Forest of Dean
    • Hertfordshire
    • Hounslow
    • Thurrock
    • Waltham Forest

We encourage the whole family to attend – any siblings are welcome too! (even if they’re not eligible themselves). 

Your family will have a better chance of success if you work together to make healthy changes!

Absolutely not – our focus is not on weight loss. We are much more concerned with helping your family to learn some little tips and tricks to enjoy a healthier lifestyle!

Weight loss is never the primary aim for a children’s weight management programme as they’re still growing. Instead, we encourage them to focus more on building healthy habits, so they grow into their weight and learn to make healthy choices for their future! 

Our top priority is your child’s physical and mental health. We don’t focus on weight, we NEVER use the ‘f’ word, and we promote positive body image in all the children we work with.

We don’t put children on damaging diets or force them to exercise. Instead we guide them towards finding healthy foods they like, educate them on how to eat a balanced diet (which includes yummy treats in the right amounts!), and encourage them to find joy in movement.

It can be really difficult to raise the issue of being overweight with your child. However, by addressing it now, you will help them to adopt healthy skills for life and grow into healthy, happy adults!

There’s no catch! No hidden fees, no paid add-ons. It really is 100% free.

How? We are funded by Public Health England and local councils to offer support to eligible families in these areas free of charge.

Yep!

It’s all simple, fun for the kids, and changes depending on age group and ability.

If you choose BeeZee Families Live (the online one), you could end up playing games like musical statues, or being guided through a home workout by a pro, or all sorts of other things.

If you choose BeeZee Families (the in-person programme), you’ll play group games like dodgeball and try exciting activities like archery.

Our next set of programmes begin in May. There are still spaces left, but we expect to fill them all, so don’t wait too long!
