Sessions are delivered by trained practitioners experienced in working with children and families. The programme is designed in line with national guidance around healthy weight and family wellbeing.

Yes, the programme is completely free.

The confidential basic form at the bottom of this page requires a few contact details and minimal non intrusive personal details. The contact form will then go straight to a professional family coach.

Active Families is suitable for families with children aged 4–11 who would benefit from support around healthy lifestyle habits.

This may include children above a healthy weight, those at risk of becoming overweight, or families who want practical support with food, activity and wellbeing.

Families must be willing to attend weekly sessions together.

After you have completed the short form  at the bottom of this page, the family you have referred will be contacted within 48 hours by one of our professional family coaches who will have an informal chat with them.

We will discuss the programme with them in more detail so we can find the best way to support them.

We’ll let you know when we get the family started on the programme.

If for any reason we can’t get in touch with the family you have referred, we may reach back out to you, to follow up.

We deliver sessions in primary schools across Blackpool.

We also run them in our three of centres, Blackpool Sports Centre, Moor Park Leisure Centre and Palatine Leisure Centre.
