We started the new years meetings with a Healthy Life style meeting, Steve and Sheryl came along from the NHS Health team to give a talk which was hands on and very informative and also a good laugh was had by all who attended.

Sheryl explained to us about a pilot scheme which is running at the moment for Adults with Learning Disabilities, Widnes has run for 6 weeks before Christmas and Runcorn is starting this week, they hope to get the funding to continue these sessions and will keep me updated on the progress. Basically the course runs for 6 weeks for 1 and half hours per week, where people with learning disabilities go through healthy foods and exercise.

Ste told us about Fresh Start which is a programme run by NHS for people who want to loose weight and get more exercise, these are 10 week programmes free of charge, please telephone 0151 495 5450 for more information.
