NHS Lanarkshire’s free family-friendly health and wellbeing programme; ‘Full of Beans’ has now launched its latest six-week block.
The programme is welcoming families, from across North Lanarkshire, to come along and take part in enjoyable activities while learning handy and easy tips on healthy topics.
There’s something for the whole family to enjoy as each week covers a different theme ranging from healthy portion sizes to fussy eating before taking part in some physical activity games.
The programme is run in partnership with North Lanarkshire Council for those with children aged between 18 months and five years old; older brothers/sisters/family members are also welcome to come along too.
Classes take place across various North Lanarkshire venues and run for six weeks, with the latest block running between May and June. Families can book their spot and head to their local centre for lots of fun activities and to learn more about living a healthier lifestyle.
Marc Conroy, health improvement senior, NHS Lanarkshire, said: “Full of Beans is a fantastic programme for families to come along and have fun and be active!
“No class is the same as a new theme is introduced every week for families to learn from such as healthy behaviours, fussy eating and snacks. The class begins with everyone learning and getting involved in the Full of Beans song, before playing exciting games.
“Children really enjoy their time there and the full family can learn more about living a healthier lifestyle.”
David Clark, sport development and participation officer, North Lanarkshire Council, commented: “At North Lanarkshire Council, we are proud to work in partnership with NHS Lanarkshire to offer the Full of Beans programme.
“It’s great to see families getting involved and enjoying the classes, we love being able to host such a rewarding programme at no cost to those who come along.”
One Full of Beans participant said: “The classes are very friendly, I would 100% recommend to a friend. There are songs and games for the kids to enjoy and lots of running and playing too!”
