Livewell Activities
Fun sessions in your community Get active and learn how to eat better through Livewell’s fun and friendly activities. Your advisor will suggest and book exercise activities for you to try as part of your Move plan or you can book online at www.derby.gov.uk/sports. Please ask your advisor before trying a new physical activity.
Please note that all sessions are subject to change, check the Client Info page at livewellderby.co.uk for the latest programme.
Lose Weight Feel Great A supportive 8 week course for clients wanting to lose weight. Through practical and fun weekly sessions, you’ll discover ways you can eat more healthily while steadily shedding the pounds. Livewell’s sensible plan means you’re much more likely to keep the weight off unlike quick-fix diets. Clients need to commit to all eight sessions to take part. Again booking is required - online or through your advisor.
