Levels of obesity are increasing across the UK. It is estimated that by 2050 approximately 25% of children in the UK will be obese and 40% overweight. The long-term cost of childhood obesity is estimated to be as high as £700 million each year. However, reducing obesity amongst children and young people by 1% could save the NHS £1 billion each year on long-term health problems and the need for health treatment.
