Is it your New Year’s Resolution to lose weight, and lead a healthier lifestyle?
Leyton Orient hosted an Obesity Awareness match day at The Breyer Group Stadium on Saturday 11 January 2020 as part of National Obesity Awareness Week.
Leyton Orient Trust hosted representatives from Waltham Forest Public Health and colleagues from their healthy lifestyles programmes to celebrate their success and launch two new programmes.
Members from the Man V Fat Football team, Black Jack, took penalties at half time and were the flag bearers before the game. Black Jack were the winning team from Man V Fat Football Season 9 – together losing a total 375KG.
The day also celebrated the launch of two new healthy lifestyles programmes – Daughters and Dads Active and Empowered; and FIT O’S.
Daughters and Dads Active and Empowered: Are you a father or father-figure who wants to spend quality time, strengthening the bond with your daughter through our physical activity programme? Come and participate in fun physical activity sessions whilst learning how to improve her sports skills, confidence and resilience through our education sessions.
We are looking for fathers / father-figures (step-dad, grandad, uncle, brother) and primary school-aged daughters (5-11) to participate in our FREE 11-week programme. For more information please contact us
