We heard about the Mend programme in our local newspaper and my mum and I decided to go along.
I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Each session includes a one-hour interactive workshop for children and parents, and a one-hour fun physical activity session for the young people while the parents have an adult discussion. We had so much fun, while getting fit and learning about the food we eat.
