Under its new Hearty Lives Projects, the charity will work on seven projects with children and families in Liverpool, Manchester, Wolverhampton, Glasgow, Inverclyde and Renfrewshire iover the next six months.
The projects, funded through the British Heart Foundation’s Hearty Lives Programme, will run in partnership with local authorities, the NHS and non-profit organisations and use a range of interventions to tackle lifestyle trends that are contributing to children becoming overweight or obese.
One project will fund a maternity dietician to offer post-natal support to mothers. This will include exercise classes, sessions on health and nutrition and cooking classes delivered through celebrity chef Jamie Oliver's Ministry of Food programme.
