Free Healthy Weight Programme

Lancaster City Council offers FREE weight management courses for adults over 18 years of age who have a BMI between 30 and 45.

Course duration is 12 weeks, 1 hour each week. 

All courses provide advice on diet and behaviour change, including physical activity. Sessions include talks, behaviour discussions, and information sharing.

Some courses will include approximately 30 minutes of inclusive chair-based exercise that is suitable for a range of abilities. We also offer a Nordic walking course which involves an hour of Nordic walking and healthy weight talking along the Morecambe promenade.
