Worried about your child’s weight? Want to help them lead a healthy, happy, active life? Then let’s Get Going!

Get Going is a family healthy lifestyle programme funded by NHS Lothian. It offers support to help your child get active, eat well and achieve a healthier weight. The emphasis is on fun and feeling good. It’s about getting active as a family and working together to make small lifestyle changes. Children get the opportunity to make friends and take part in fun active games. As parents you’ll have the chance to share ideas with support and guidance from a Child Healthy Lifestyle coach.

The free sessions take place in Edinburgh Leisure or community venues, once a week over eight weeks. Each lasts between 60-90 minutes. After the eight weeks, you’ll get ongoing support from our team. There’s also a follow-up six months after you finish to see how you’re doing and to help you stay on track for a more healthy life.
