A new ten-week boot camp-style scheme is being piloted in Wales to tackle the problem of overweight children.

The project, called ‘Mend – Mind, Exercise, Nutrition…Do It!’, will target 2,000 seven to 13-year-olds in the country where it’s believed 20pc of 13-year-olds are now overweight.

The youngsters will attend the sessions with their families.

Speak to schools and sports clubs on your patch and see what special schemes are being run to tackle health issues among children and teenagers.
