It’s estimated more than 6 million people across England are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
The good news? Diabetes is often preventable, and small, simple changes can make a powerful difference.
We are proud to be a leading provider of the Healthier You: NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme, a free service that’s already helped thousands of people live healthier lives and reduce their risk of developing diabetes.
About the programme
Our programme is an engaging, supportive experience designed to help you take control of your health and feel your best. You’ll be encouraged to use the sessions in a way that works for you, so you can get the most out of the service and tailor the experience to your needs.
The programme consists of 13 group sessions, each lasting 1–2 hours, delivered over 9 months. This means you have access to ongoing support, helping you make sustainable lifestyle changes at a realistic and manageable pace.
You’ll improve your overall health and reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes through small, manageable changes that make a big difference over time.
