Xplore

Xplore is a healthy lifestyle programme that provides a friendly, fun, and supportive environment to help children, young people, and their families lead healthier lives and become more active. The programme offers practical tips around nutrition and physical activity, encouraging families to try new things that can improve their overall health and wellbeing as part of everyday life.

The free 8-week programme is designed for children and young people aged 4–19 who are above a healthy weight (between the 91st and 98th BMI centiles). It includes age-appropriate movement sessions and interactive healthy eating and lifestyle workshops, along with ongoing support after the programme ends to help families maintain a healthier lifestyle.

Children and young people above the 99th BMI centile and/or with complex needs may be referred to more appropriate services. This will be discussed with the parent or guardian by the Xplore team.

To check your child’s BMI centile, use the NHS BMI calculator.* Below https://www.nhs.uk/health-assessment-tools/calculate-your-body-mass-index/
