About
SHINE (Self Help Independence, Nutrition and Exercise) is a community based Tier 3 service that aims to help children and young people living with obesity, not only to lose weight, but also to develop a range of skills to increase confidence and self esteem. The young people who participate in SHINE see a great improvement in their general health and fitness by participating in a wide range of activities. This is achieved through attending a series of programmes which helps young people not only make healthier lifestyle changes, but to also maintain these changes for a long period of time. Recently working in partnership with Sheffield Children’s Hospital Foundation Trust on the newly established CEW (Complications from Excess Weight) clinics, we are gradually extending our services across South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw.
Opening times
Our courses and counselling service run on Monday and Wednesday evenings between 4pm – 8pm. We have a specialised programme for young people living with learning disabilities at Mencap Thursdays evenings 5pm – 6.30pm. Sports activities Tuesdays 4.30pm – 5.45pm and Saturdays 11.15 am – 12.45pm. We have a ‘drop-in’ clinic to offer free and confidential guidance and support.
