Family Food Programme

Tender description

The service offer will include 1:1 or group support for eligible families delivered by professionals trained in behaviour change techniques. The offer will be underpinned by a holistic approach to health and wellbeing, recognising the wider determinants of health that influence obesity. The programme will aim to provide information, advice & guidance and build confidence within the family to make healthy lifestyle changes that they have control over and have a desire to change. An exploration of family life and circumstances will be key to the holistic nature of the offer with factors such as family make-up and child care arrangements; income and time resources; and other external stressors that could impact on a family's ability to make sustainable changes taken into account. The focus of the programme is to be on making small, sustainable behavioural changes. These goals will not be limited to traditional targets of weight management and will consider broader outcomes such as, but not limited to, family harmony, self-esteem, physical activity, and food behaviours.
