Do you want to improve your health? Maybe you would like to be more active, eat more healthily, quit smoking or drink less, but you’re not sure where to start? Westminster Health Trainers can help you make a real difference to your health and wellbeing. Come to our drop-in session for advice and suggestions for extra help
Six one-to-one sessions can be arranged where a Health Trainer will work with you to develop a Personal Health Plan which you create to identify those areas of health you want to improve and the actions you can take to achieve your goals. Health Trainers also provide you with relevant information, practical advice and motivation; as well as signposting you to other appropriate local Westminster services that can offer additional help and support.
Westminster Health Trainers promote local events including (free) guided walks in Regent's Park, Hyde Park, St James's Park and Green Park.
