1. Gloji Energy, child and family weight management service, delivered by Thrive Tribe.

2. The service consists of 12 week group-based courses for parent / parents and children. Parents learn about healthy lifestyles, diet, physical activity etc whilst children take part in fun physical activity sessions. The groups take place at a range of venues across the county. Some one-to-one and online support is available where this is more appropriate due to additional needs of the child / family.
