Change for Good want to bring people together (virtually, of course) to encourage and support each other to make simple and healthy lifestyle changes to lose weight and keep the weight off, for good. It doesn't matter where you are on your journey; join us to achieve your weight-loss goal.

The course will meet weekly (both daytime and evening options) and will be run by local, qualified and experienced tutors. Change for Good follows an NHS approved programme and covers nutritional and lifestyle topics each week. The groups will be made up of 20-25 people and will be interactive with plenty of time for discussion. You will also be supported to become part of a local online community where you can meet and support others on the journey.
