Health & Well Being

In Early Spring 2010 YaSiG will be introducing a Health & Well Being Programme which will work positively with a large range of challenging and disengaged young people in the active education about the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle.

This much needed initiative will provide a professional lifestyle consultant \ fitness professional to work as an Active Education Coordinator with disaffected young people in Gainsborough.

The Health & Well Being Programme will provide innovative ways of highlighting the importance of living a healthy lifestyle and teaching young people how to change their current habits for the rest of their life, including…

• Individual consultations that will result in specific lifestyle development plans.
• Introducing young people to new opportunities in sport, exercise and physical recreation.
• Beneficiaries having the chance to attend short courses and gain accredited qualifications that are related to living a healthy lifestyle.
• Facilitated workshops with parents to ensure that positive lifestyle changes are adopted as a family.
• Providing detailed nutritional education to all young people and encourage beneficiaries to work towards a healthy BMI range.

YaSiG’s aim is to create healthy lifestyles amongst 13 – 24 year olds through active education in a fun and inspiring way that discourages bad habits, addiction and unhealthy approaches to life.
