Full of Beans, NHS Lanarkshire’s Healthy Lifestyle and Weight Management’s (LWMS) enjoyable and engaging programme is welcoming families from across Lanarkshire, to come along and take part in enjoyable activities while learning handy and easy tips on healthy topics.
The next block of the programme, which starts the week of Monday 10 February, is run in partnership with North Lanarkshire Council and South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture for those with children aged between two and five years old.
