At OneLife Suffolk, we offer a combination of 10-week Family Programmes in the community and ‘After School Programmes’. We take an approach that focuses more on the importance of healthy lifestyles, instead of encouraging weight loss, where there are no unrealistic expectations.
LEVEL 1
This light touch approach allows any child, young person, or parent to engage with our service to learn about making healthier choices.
We have some recorded webinars which are available to watch here, but the OneLife Suffolk team can also deliver these topics during school time in assemblies, classroom workshops and parent workshops.
The Level 1 sessions cover a range of healthy lifestyle topics such as food, exercise, sleep and wellbeing.
- Food labelling
- Physical activity
- Sugary drinks
- Eat Well guide and portion sizes
- Sleep and wellbeing
- Cookery videos
LEVEL 2
Our club offers support for children and young people from the age of 5 to 18 years, alongside their families, who would like to achieve a healthier lifestyle. The programme runs for 10 weeks, inviting the whole family to attend the weekly 90-minute sessions to learn together about the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle whilst getting free physical activity for those who attend.
What to expect:
Each week, families start the first 45 minutes of the club together to enjoy a fun, interactive session discussing a healthy lifestyle topic with the OneLife Suffolk team. Following this, the children and young people will go to their 30 to 45 minute activity session where they will be able to play team games, complete activity challenges and learn new skills.
During that time, parents and guardians will remain with their OneLife Practitioner to discuss the weekly topic in more detail and to explore what further support is needed for the family to achieve their goals.
Weekly topics:
Week 1: Why make a change?
Week 2: Eatwell guide and healthy eating
Week 3: Portion control and snacks
Week 4: Approaching activity
Week 5: Halfway checkpoint and cookery session
Week 6: Making informed choices
Week 7: Food labelling
Week 8: Sugar in drinks
Week 9: Sleep and breakfast
Week 10: Next steps and staying on track
