MEND Fellowship Scheme

The MEND Fellowship Scheme allows MEND and parliamentarians to raise awareness of the scale of the obesity crisis and to work together to tackle it.

Steve Brine MP

"I'm delighted to be able to support MEND by becoming a MEND Fellow. I've heard from my own constituents how MEND has helped them get fit and healthy, and I'll be spreading the word about what a great programme MEND is."

Charlotte Leslie MP

I hosted MEND's parliamentary reception in 2010 and was fortunate enough to meet many families who have been on the MEND programme. MEND's approach to empowering communities to address obesity themselves is a fantastic example of the Big Society in action."

Mary Macleod MP

"Obesity is a significant public health challenge in the UK. I hope that my association with MEND will raise awareness of the issue and how we can work to tackle it."
