Health-Promoting Environments

Families valued programme content that helped them practise healthy behaviours across real-world environments. Access to parks, gyms, and swimming pools affected whether families could complete activity-based targets. Physical environments shaped family engagement with the programme. Higher prices for healthy foods in school canteens and nearby supermarkets created practical barriers. Small homes made space-dependent activities difficult for some families. Many families recommended integrating the programme into school curricula to provide life skills content and access to facilities.
