Community update Hayling Herald
Kids’ free active play
TO help tackle childhood obesity and
support children to get active and stay
healthy, Hampshire County Council is
expanding its free health and wellbeing
programmes for children and families, working closely with district and
boroughs, as well as local community
organisations.
In Hampshire, almost one-third (32%)
of Year 6 students and one-fifth (21%) of
Reception-aged children are overweight
or very overweight.
Thirty per cent of children aged five to
19 in the county do less than 30 minutes
of physical activity daily, with those from
disadvantaged backgrounds facing further barriers to accessing activity.
The County Council is supporting various projects across Hampshire to promote healthy weight in childhood:
Hampshire Healthy Steps: Children’s
charity Barnardo’s has launched a new
programme, funded by the County Coun-
cil, to help families stay healthy.
It’s a flexible, community-based programme for families with children aged
2 to 12 years, enabling them to get more
active, sleep better, eat healthily, and connect with their local area.
Active Play Membership: Horizon Leisure Centre is offering 12 months of free
Active Play Membership for children up
to five years old from low-income families
in Havant, giving them access to soft play
and swimming.
Additionally, the County Council has
worked with Healthwatch Hampshire to
find out what families need to help them
eat healthily, be active, and understand
day-to-day barriers.
Parents and carers worried about their
child’s weight can get help and guidance
from the County Council commissioned
health visiting team or school nursing
team. Details can be found on the Hampshire Healthy Families website.
To infinity and beyond!
