A new campaign is being launched to encourage local people to stay fit and healthy.

The Better Health Staffordshire initiative is aiming to help motivate residents to achieve a healthy weight through staying active and dietary improvements.

A free weight management programme is being offered to those aged over 18 with a body mass index of over 30 or over 27.5 if they have a long-term medical condition or are from certain ethnic backgrounds.

Cllr Julia Jessel, Staffordshire County Council’s cabinet member for health and care, said:

> “Excess weight and its related health issues are a growing concern.  
>  
> “I believe by working together, these free services will not only help you lose weight, but boost your confidence, improve your overall health, and increase your quality of life.”  
>  
> Cllr Julia Jessel, Staffordshire County Council

The sessions include 45 minutes of light exercise and healthy eating advice, to help people create long-term healthy habits.

The campaign also offers self-help tools to encourage participants to make small changes to live healthier lifestyles.
