Fit Club - Wirral Community Health and Care (WCHC)

Fit Club is a children’s weight management programme for local children who are above a healthy weight, have been referred from the National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) or are in the 98th percentile or above.

 

Our programme provides support for children and young people aged 4 to 19 years (up to 25 years of age for young people with additional needs). The programme’s name was developed in consultation with young people and stands for:

  • Fun
  • Inspire
  • Transform

Our team was recognised as ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in 2018. Our team offers tailored and one-to-one support, as well as providing personalised plans for children and young people who are above a healthy weight.

 

If you child is attending Fit Club our team will work closely with you and they will receive a health assessment which includes:

  • measuring their BMI
  • a short fitness test
  • a review of their current lifestyle 

As part of the programme your child will also receive: 

  • 12 weekly exercise sessions run by Wirral Council’s Leisure Services 
  • a portion control plate

Our team also works closely with schools and other health professionals to support children and young people to maintain or reduce their BMI.
