What If - Health Collaborative GroupThe improvement foundation is about Professionals and Voluntary workers working together to tackle obesity.
I became involved with the Improvement Foundation through the Children's Centre, myself and some other parents felt passionate about this subject and became Community Volunteers.
We all attended a seminar in Manchester about tackling obesity, it really opened our eyes to how much:
* You will have fun and meet new people locally and across thecountry
* Learn about obesity and how to help others to have a healthystart in life or have a healthier lifestyle.
* Develop yourself and other in a challenging environment
* Experience a life changing opportunity
* Use you skills and learn and develop new valuable skills
* Have your say in how local services could be developed
* Be part of a health promotion programme
* Increase your confidence gain experience which can help you ifand when looking for a job
* Free training to support your role as a Community Member on theprogramme
* Working alongside professionals from health and s social care
