Take the Health Challenge is a 12-month project funded by the Pfizer UK Foundation and Baily Thomas. It will extend the learning from our previous 2 health promotion projects on Anglesey ( the Happy Heart Group and Our Good Health) across North Wales by offering people with learning disabilities and their parents and carers structured information about leading a healthy lifestyle in the form of Happy Heart Groups - 6-week interactive programmes of two hours a week looking at where the heart is, what it does, why it's important to keep it healthy and how small lifestyle changes can make a big difference. We are also delivering training to support staff in how to support people with learning disabilities to lead healthier lifestyles.
