Young people from one of Sheffield's most deprived areas are taking part in a year-long programme to tackle obesity.
The SHINE (Self Help Independence, Nutrition & Exercise) project based at the Steel Inn Youth Centre helps young people aged 10 to 17 to change their lifestyles, becoming fitter and healthier.
