Thrive Tribe awarded weight management contract in Brighton & Hove

January 11, 2024

Healthy lifestyle provider Thrive Tribe have been selected as the new provider of Brighton & Hove City Council’s tier 2 weight management service, thanks to their proven track record to successfully bring about long term behaviour change.

“We’re thrilled to be launching a new weight management service in partnership with Brighton & Hove Council. Nearly two thirds of the residents of Brighton & Hove are above a healthy weight, causing a wide range of preventable health issues. We’ll introduce a range of programmes across the city, using behaviour change techniques to help people make sustainable, long term improvements to their health. We’re particularly excited about the introduction of a range of pilot, sports-based interventions. We have pioneered sports-based weight loss through our MAN v FAT Football programme, which operates across the UK, we will now test the application of this concept to other sports.”

Tim Roberts, Managing Director of Thrive Tribe

Starting January 2024, for the next three years Thrive Tribe will support Brighton & Hove residents to lose weight for free with their flexible range of healthy lifestyle programmes. Residents can get the help they need through face-to-face groups, a digital programme, support for children and families, or access to weight loss programmes from Slimming World or MAN v FAT.

“We are pleased to welcome Thrive Tribe as our new weight management services provider for Brighton & Hove. Thrive Tribe have already been supporting residents in our neighbouring counties to achieve a healthier weight, and we look forward to local people now benefiting from their successful approach.”

Alistair Hill, Director of Public Health at Brighton & Hove City Council

The Brighton & Hove service is the latest addition to Thrive Tribe’s growing range of public health provision, which delivers healthy lifestyle services across the UK, helping thousands of people each year to improve their physical and mental wellbeing.
