We enjoyed welcoming everyone to the Great Livewell Get Together at Alvaston Park on Wednesday 24 October.
The aim of the event was to support clients to keep active and eat well during Autumn and Winter when it's tempting to hibernate and watch TV on the sofa.
Clients enjoyed a quiz - well done to the aptly named 'Winners' team - and picked up healthy resources including recipes and our 21 day home exercise challenge.

Best pals and Livewell clients, Sharron and Charlotte have shed a combined 4.5 stone, dropped several dress sizes and lost inches between them in 10 months. The duo are often seen giggling at classes together and have embraced all the Livewell sessions with great determination and passion. They’ve enjoyed sharing their journeys together and can’t wait to see their final measurements at their 12 month review.
Julie is fit and fabulous at forty! The thought of being overweight and forty was enough to spur Julie on to join Livewell.
Sunday 3 June saw Livewell volunteers and clients, Annmarie and Lee brave the heat and complete the Derby Half Marathon.
Both clients have lost a significant amount of weight on their Livewell journeys and have gone from complete exercise novices to enjoying being active and fit every day. Here at Livewell, we couldn't be more proud of them completing their first half marathon.
