GOALS (Getting Our Active Lifestyle Started)
The Lanarkshire Weight Management and Healthy Lifestyles service has launched a new community-based programme for children between 4-17 years old with a BMI greater than or equal to 91st Centile. This family based healthy lifestyle programme provides support for children and their families.
The programme will run in 10-week blocks, GOALS will be held in Carluke from September 2023 with further blocks in January 2024 and April 2024. Families who feel that the programme would be beneficial for them can be referred to to the programme by the school.
Each class will take place for 1.5 hours weekly, and consist of a nutrition session, physical activity session, discussion/feedback, and next steps for the upcoming week. GOALS is designed to help families work towards leading an active and healthy lifestyle by making positive lifestyle changes.
If you would like a referral for your child, please get in touch and we can submit this on your behalf.
