Have you ever thought about making lifestyle changes to become healthier or happier, but don’t know where to start? It may be that you want to lose weight, or quit smoking, or you may want to start cooking more homemade meals.
The ‘Do It For…’ Campaign is designed to support residents to make small and sustainable healthy changes via a 12-week email campaign.
When joining the campaign, you’ll be asked to make a pledge – anything from cooking more homemade meals, to moving more, or starting your journey to quit smoking. The pledge helps to keep you accountable to the changes you want to make and gives you something to aim for.
Throughout the 12 weeks you’ll receive two emails each week with bitesize tips on a range of topics including food portions, being active, reducing alcohol intake and more as well as weekly challenges to help you form lifestyle habits.
Over 750 people in Telford and Wrekin have signed up to the campaign and made a pledge. So far, the most popular motivators for people signing up is for their future self and for their health. Do you agree or would you do it for something different?
Since the launch of the campaign, people have told us:
