Want to make some changes your health and wellbeing for the New Year? The SPFL Trust's Football Fans in Training Programme (FFIT) may be the programme to help you start out! The programme differs to the normal "weight loss" courses out there, we offer advice and practical ways to make changes to your lifestyle. We also help you increase step counts and exercise levels....all this for FREE! The main aims of the programme are to: - Increase knowledge of diet & nutrition - Improve lifestyle choices - Increase physical activity amongst participants - Reduce weight and waist measurements - Increase engagement in other physical activity There are a number of set criteria, that potential participants must fall into. The Criteria set by The SPFL Trust is that participants must: - be aged between 35 and 65 year’s old - waist size of 38 inches (96.5cm) or more - BMI of 28 or above Every 90-minute session contains a different topic which includes managing your alcohol consumption, understanding food labels and balancing your diet. There is also a physical component to each session. This can be a gentle walk around the pitch at Livingston F.C. to a game of football. You do not need to be a supporter of Livingston F.C. to join, so as long as you are committed to making small changes to your lifestyle, you are more than welcome to attend. The intake for men will start on Tuesday 10th January 2017 with the female intake starting on Thursday 12th January 2017. It will begin with an introductory session known as "Week 0" where measurements will be taken. Last season we had two male intakes of FFIT participants who committed to the programme and lost 170 KG between them! Members of the group still continue to attend a FFIT Continuation Group and have made some good friends and even take part in FFIT tournaments. There are limited spaces in each intake so to avoid disappointment, register your interest NOW! For further information, and to register please email info@wlyf.org.uk

That's us done for 2016! WLYF offices are now closed for Christmas and will re-open on Wednesday 4th January 2017! We were contemplating running Christmas Holiday camps however, we decided not to as we believe Christmas is a time for all our participants to spend with their family and friends! Also allow them (and parents!) to recharge their batteries ahead of the New Year! With that, on behalf of everyone at the West Lothian Youth Foundation we would like to wish all our fantastic participants, parents and Foundation partners a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We look forward to seeing you in 2017!
