Why Weight? Our Pledge

The Why Weight? Pledge has been developed by the NHS, local councils and partner organisations across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire. It is a shared commitment to creating places where everyone has the chance to eat well, feel well and be active, and to reducing the health inequalities linked to weight.

Tudor Lodge is signing up to the pledge. We are currently agreeing the actions we will take as a practice and will share them here once they are in place.

What the pledge is about

Considerate communication – talking about weight kindly and without stigma, and making our information easy for everyone to understand.
Connecting and collaborating – working with local organisations so it is easier to get support.
Creating healthier places – helping our patients and staff to eat well and move more.
Community led – involving local people, including our Patient Participation Group, in what we do.
Continuing to learn – checking what works and sharing it.
