RESEARCH AND INSIGHTS
The aim of the Children & Families Project is to help to design initiatives for families with children experiencing or at risk of obesity. Working alongside the national Children and Families Task and Finish Group driven by Public Health Wales, Sport Wales partnered with StreetGames to focus its efforts in Merthyr Tydfil.
Collaborating with an established network of community organisations within Merthyr Tydfil, the project is supporting families to have access to sport and physical activity that meet their needs, whilst incorporating additional support around healthy eating, financial advice and other aspects that will impact behaviour change to help sustain healthy living.
The success of the project has been made possible through the contributions of key partners and stakeholders, with Community Focus Schools (CFS) playing a vital role in every aspect of its implementation.
