MEND programme

Bio

MEND (Mind, Exercise, Nutrition…Do it!) is a social enterprise dedicated to reducing global overweight and obesity levels. We help children and their families become fitter, healthier and happier by offering free healthy living programmes in the local community. Established in 2004, the MEND Programme was devised at the world renowned Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children and the University College London Institute of Child Health. We work with local, regional and national partners to deliver over 400 MEND programmes across the world which have benefitted over 15,000 families. In addition to MEND's healthy lifestyle programmes for children and their families, MEND offers class room resources, obesity management training for front-line staff and facilitated self-help programmes for adults.
