The Why Weight Programme

Why Weight is a group consultation programme offering support to people who are seeking to lose weight and improve their health. Two tutors will support you to find practical ways to build your knowledge, skills and confidence to help you better manage your diet and achieve weight loss.

It also provides a great opportunity to learn and interact from others living with the same or similar health condition(s).

The programme is made up of six sessions delivered virtually (on Zoom): one session a week, for six weeks. Each session lasts for 2.5 hours (including a break). It�s best to attend all six sessions.

If you would like to attend, please ask your GP or healthcare professional to complete our service referral form.
