Everyone wants the best for their children, but it can be hard to know what to do as a parent as they grow up. That’s where HENRY comes in. The Healthy Families: Growing Up programme is free to join and helps your family develop a healthier lifestyle that works for you.

The programme is for parents or carers who would like support and ideas to develop a healthier family lifestyle which parents and children can both enjoy. It is free to join. Everyone wants the best for their children, but with so much conflicting advice it can be hard to know what to do for the best as a parent.
