Big Way Of Life

F3: Fun, Food and Fitness is a Healthy Home Tutors project run by Caerphilly Teaching Local Health Board

The Fun, Food & Fitness (F3) is lead by the Aneurin Bevan Health Board and is a FREE weight management programme for 8 to 11 year olds in Caerphilly borough.

The F3 project’s nutritionist, exercise specialist and behavioural psychologist run a 10-week course to help families who have concerns about their children’s weight.   Fun activities are used to teach the children and their families about exercise, healthy eating and changing bad habits.

A unique feature of the project is its team of Healthy Home Tutors who work on a one-to-one basis with each family in the home to motivate and encourage them to lead a healthier lifestyle.  The home tutors maintain contact with their F3 family for a total of 9 months.

The next two programmes will start after Easter 2010 and will run after school for 10 weeks in Caerphilly Leisure Centre and Cefn Hengoed Community Centre.
