The pack will consist of a sign up sheet, where you can send off for your free personalised activity plan, containing lots of helpful hints and tips to get you and your family out of the house this summer, as well as money saving tips.
Alternatively, you can download your free personalised activity plan by visiting www.nhs.uk/Change4Life There's also a free activity mobile app, suggesting fun ways to stay fit, stickers and certificates to keep you motivated.
