Change4Life was launched in as part of a national ambition set out in the government's Healthy Weight, Healthy Lives Its purpose has been to inspire a social movement, through which government, the NHS, local authorities, businesses, charities, schools, families and community leaders can all play a part in improving children's diets and physical activity levels. If a member of your family has special dietary requirements, medical needs, an eating disorder or requires specialised nutrition advice — for example, if your child is underweight or very overweight — we recommend you seek guidance from a registered healthcare professional.

We have a single aim: to motivate and support millions more people to make and sustain changes that will improve their health. It's a big task. That's why our national partnerships are crucial. Together, we can deliver more effective campaigns and ensure our public health messages reach the people who will really benefit from them. We work with major national retailers, household-name brands and major organisations — including commercial brands, government departments and NGOs — providing them with all the support and materials they need to change health outcomes and help influence people's behaviour across the country.

Reducing sugar intake is important for the health of our children both now and in the future. We are all eating too much sugar and the impact this has on our health is evident.
This campaign is about taking small steps to address this. We know from past campaigns that making simple swaps works and makes a real difference. This year we wanted to be even more single minded in our approach, which is why we are focusing on sugar alone. The family challenge highlights that simple swaps could lead to big changes if sustained over time. It is fantastic to see that the sugar swaps resulted in a reduction in sugar intake for these families.
The University of Reading is delighted to support preventative health campaigns such as this which can help make a real difference to the health of the nation.

This research with Netmums showed that sugar consumption is a worry for parents but taking steps to reduce sugar can be really difficult.
