Kensington and Chelsea Health Trainers

Health Trainers are members of the local community who have been trained to support people in Kensington and Chelsea to improve their health and wellbeing.

Through free, one-to-one sessions a Health Trainer can work with someone to assess their current lifestyle and help set realistic goals in order to make healthy changes.

Health Trainers are also there to help people to make the best use of a wide range of excellent services and opportunities available across the borough, which could help to start improving their health.

The Health Trainers service is run by Westway Development Trust and commissioned by the NHS Kensington and Chelsea.  

What can Health Trainers do for you?

• Health Trainers offer support with; healthy eating, physical activity, mental & emotional well-being and stopping smoking.
• Health Trainers offer up to six one-to-one sessions to help you achieve your goals. Sessions involve answering some questions about your health and lifestyle as well as setting health-related goals which your Health Trainer will help you achieve.
• All sessions are free, confidential and can be accessed by anyone aged over 18 living in Kensington and Chelsea.
• Health Trainers work from various locations across the borough. If the locations we use are not suitable for you, your Health Trainer will arrange to see you somewhere close to your home
