MEND Programme
The MEND Programme is a Fun, free of charge, community, family-based programme for children who are over their healthy weight aged between 7-13.
This programme places equal emphasis on (M)ind, (E)xercise and (N)utrition. It runs over two hour sessions, twice a week for 10 weeks. One parent or guardian must attend each session with the child. The programme assists participating families to make healthy changes to their daily lives with great results.
By following the MEND principles, participating children will become more healthy and move towards a healthy weight, while having lots of fun on the programme.

Equality & human rights in sport and physical activity
Due to the huge demand for our Equality and Human Rights in Sport and Physical Activity Workshops which were run in 6 pilot regions in 2008, Sporting Equals are launching a second series of workshops in May/June 2009.
Who are they for? The workshops are for individuals and organisations working in the field of Sport and Physical Activity promotion, development, governance, coaching and management.
How much will it cost? We have tried to keep costs down to a minimum and the fees charged are specified in the attached flier.
How to register? If you are interested in attending a Sporting Equals workshop in your area, please complete the attached booking form stating which region you are interested in.
For more information please click here and on the links below. Promotional flyer
Demand for these workshops across regions is likely to be high and we therefore recommend you register early.
