Description

Newham is a demographically diverse borough with a high rates of overweight/obesity and disproportionally high numbers of residents experiencing long-term health problems associated with excess weight. This pattern is particularly evident among our poorest residents, those with physical/mental health problems and residents from ethnically minoritised groups. The council already commissions Xyla Health & Wellbeing to provide a structured 12-week Tier-2 Weight Management service for Newham residents aged 18 years and above. However, this kind of programme is not suitable for everyone. The Council is therefore looking to work with partner organisations from Newham or neighbouring boroughs to develop and test ways to help more residents lose weight. Specifically, we want to hear from organisations with experience in this area that are able to provide support for residents with learning disabilities and/or mental/physical health issues (and their carers) to develop cooking skills, shop for healthy food on a budget and lose weight.
