“This programme is quite inspiring. It’s nice to come here and know other families have the same concerns and questions that we have. It makes us feel like we have support and our questions are well answered” – Pat (parent)

“Since coming here, Mollie has been more likely to do physical activity at home, where as previously she wouldn’t have been interested or excited about it.” – Gill (parent)

“I was really scared thinking it would be like an hour of cardio workout or something but it is not. It is a really manageable way of incorporating activity into your life.” – Helen (parent)

“My favourite part is learning and playing games” – Janelle (participant)

“It is important to be active and healthy because you live longer" – Stephen (participant)
