Beezee in Oxfordshire
Oxfordshire residents will have access to free healthy living courses from 1 September 2024, with expert health coaches and nutritionists offering support to empower people to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
Commissioned by Oxfordshire County Council, Beezee (PDF,218kb) will be delivered by Maximus, a leading provider of health and wellbeing services. Programme participants will benefit from one-to-one advice from a nutritionist along with access to interactive group sessions to help them make small, realistic changes.
In-person support will be delivered in community venues across the county, with digital and telephone support also available. Designed to fit in with busy lives, the programme supports people to learn and guides them towards healthier choices, with access to a supportive community.
There are a range of options with each programme specifically tailored to meet the needs of its target group:
- Beezee Adults delivers online and in-person sessions for 12 weeks, focusing on adults over 18 years old who are above their ideal weight on the NHS BMI centile chart.
- Beezee Families provides 12 weeks of online and in-person sessions, supporting families with children aged between four and 12 years old who are above their ideal weight on the NHS BMI centile chart. Building healthy habits rather than losing weight is the primary focus of our family sessions.
