Dear colleagues,

Re: Programmes to Attain Healthy Weights for Overweight/Obese Children
and Young People

We are conducting a mapping exercise on behalf of the Cross Governmental
Obesity Unit, based in the Department of Health, to identify and
describe UK-based programmes targeted at overweight or obese children
and young people.  As we want to ensure we get a full and comprehensive
picture of activity throughout the country, we are emailing a number of
lists of people who have knowledge of this topic and of service activity
in this area.

I'd be very grateful if you could complete this short survey, which will
take just a few minutes.  Please click on the link below to start the
survey.

The survey asks about any programmes you know about or are involved with
(past and current), and also about any mapping/scoping exercises you are
aware of (similar to this one).  We would also be grateful to receive
any documents or web-links about the programmes.

The products of this project will include a database containing details
obesity reduction programmes targeting children and young people.

Please contact me if you have any queries about this project, the survey
or the information requested. 

Many thanks,

Yours sincerely
