Physical activity manager at Lincolnshire Sports Partnership, Sarah Clarke, said: "Leading a healthy lifestyle is a difficult thing to do especially when life is already so busy.

"These courses help families to get the right balance – fitting in regular physical activity and eating a healthy diet."

The Sleaford sessions begin on Monday, January 14 at The Source and will run every Monday and Tuesday between 4pm and 5.30pm.

More than 500 families have taken part in the programme over the last two years and with a better understanding of healthy eating and active lifestyles, the sessions have had a long lasting impact on most of the families.

Sarah said: "The changes we see over 12 weeks are incredible; children gain confidence, get fitter and the whole family is encouraged to lead a healthier lifestyle."

Fit Kids sessions are starting across Lincolnshire in January at venues in Boston, Gainsborough, Lincoln, Spalding, Sleaford, Grantham and more.

Fit Kids is funded by Public Health Lincolnshire and delivered by local authorities, It is co-ordinated by Lincolnshire Sports Partnership.
