Why Weight – group weight management | Sevenoaks District Council

Why Weight – group weight management

Why Weight is our free, 12-week group weight management programme, delivered through our One You service. Courses are available both face-to-face and online.

The programme is available to Sevenoaks District residents aged 18 and above who:

  • Have a BMI of 30 to 40, or
  • Have a BMI of 27.5+ for residents from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities

You can check your BMI using the NHS BMI Calculator.

If you would like support to manage your weight but do not meet the eligibility criteria, please contact our One You team. Our advisors will be happy to help you find the right solution.

You’ll benefit from:

  • Regular contact with our friendly advisors
  • Supportive group environment
  • Weekly weigh-ins
  • informative and comprehensive sessions

The focus is on gradual, sustainable lifestyle changes that improve both your physical health and overall wellbeing, including portion control guidance, understanding food labelling, and developing practical meal planning skills.

We understand that making changes can be difficulty especially if you’re suffering from lifestyle stress. As part of our service, we can also help you to connect to your community and we can provide advice about housing, finance and employment.
