Great Places has teamed up with a Football League club to help people live a healthier lifestyle.
The FIT Blackpool Programme is a weight management initiative which helps educate people around improving fitness levels, nutrition and general wellbeing, being run by Blackpool FC.
The programme, which will run in different cohorts across 2025, runs separate classes for men and women and covers gender-specific topics and exercise routines.
The programme is aiming to have 120 people attend the various courses over the year, and monitor people during and after the course as well as signposting people to courses and services in their area.
Seb Draper, Blackpool FC Community Trusts Active Through Football Manager, said the first round of courses had been a success.
He said: “We’d like to thank Great Places for their support as we are working together to help people to live a healthier life.
“The programme aims to help people re-evaluate their relationship with food, what goes into the food they buy, how to cook healthier and nutritious meals and giving them the tools they need for a healthier lifestyle.
“It also helps people to make new friends and support each other as they go progress along their journey.
“We are hoping to help people be healthier in one of the country’s most deprived areas and we are grateful to Great Places for their support.”
“We want to support as many people as possible, so if you interested in losing weight, becoming fitter, and living a healthier lifestyle, please contact us on fitfans@bfcct.co.uk.”
