Save LiveWell Suffolk services

Live Well Suffolk has, since its inception a few years ago, been able to deliver a range of services designed to improve the health (in it's widest sense), of many sections of the community across Suffolk.

My involvement has been through school, where we have been able to train our school councillors as 'young Health Champions' and work with our local community to improve awareness of health issues.With their help we are working to reduce our sugar intake, eat breakfast every day, choose healthy snacks, eat balanced regular meals, drink more water, and take more exercise.

We have introduced life changing programmes around these issues into our curriculum to battle obesity and diabetes and to improve fitness levels. Staff have made real emotional investment into achieving weight loss and we are working hard to involve our parents and our local residents in these initiatives. We are not alone! So many schools have undertaken projects such as ours and there has been considerable work done by LiveWell to educate children not to smoke and to resist peer pressure.

Multiply the work they have done in schools to include all other members of suffolk communities and you get an idea of all the amazing work which has been started.Peoples lives have been transformed, hope has been engendered and all of this wonderful work is in jeopardy because a different tender has been accepted to deliver a service.

If you,or someone you know, has benefited from LiveWell's services and been affected in a positive way,please sign our petition to say so, in the hope that we can inform our public health team of the trust we have developed with LiveWell and let them know that we don't want a reduced service in the future.

We want to continue to build on the fantastic relationship we have with them and let them work to achieve more of the amazing results that they have already achieved through the networks that they have put in place.
