    Culture, Leisure and Sport Cabinet Member Bulletin Councillor Timothy Godfrey January 2018 Latest News Live Well Croydon The Live Well Croydon Programme is making great headway in supporting Croydon residents towards improving healthy lifestyles, whether it’s signposting people to local opportunities to increase physical activity, provide motivation for those who wish to give up smoking or lose weight or improve mental health and wellbeing; our team of Live Well Advisors have so far provided initial consultations to just over 260 residents. The initial consultation is the first stage of the 12 month behaviour change journey and we are now seeing a number of residents moving onto the next 3 month review stage. As can be seen below, residents are achieving some very positive results from engaging in Live Well Croydon as they work towards their longer term health goals: Mr B – now a non-smoker at 3 months, has increased physical activity levels and improvement in mental wellbeing score. Miss J - 7kg weight loss at 3 month review, reduction in high fat foods and fried foods within her diet; improved mental health and wellbeing. Mr N - reduced calorie intake by 800 calories a day by making small swaps and increased his exercise from under 30 minutes a day to nearly 90 minutes.
