114 healthy living centres—167 in the United Kingdom—are providing activities covering diet and nutrition and 207 healthy living centres—282 in the UK—are offering physical and sporting activities. A substantial number of health living centres are addressing all of these: diet, nutrition and physical activity. Healthy living centres are funded through the New Opportunities Fund and do not receive any central funding from Department of Health.
