Have your say: healthy lifestyle service

Share you views on the best ways to help people live healthier lives in Lincolnshire.

Currently, the council commissions a healthy lifestyle service – One You Lincolnshire – which supports adults to lose weight, be more active, drink less alcohol or give up smoking. In addition, it offers a child and family weight management service and a strength and balance programme to help prevent falls.
 
The authority is looking to understand if that’s still the most effective way to improve the health of residents and reduce demand on key health and care services, or whether a fresh approach is needed. The first step is to understand residents’ views and priorities. The consultation is open until 2 December 2025.

Cllr Steve Clegg, executive member for adult care and health, said: “The council is given an annual grant that needs to be used to help people live healthier lives. We want to ensure that that funding is used in the best way possible.

“We believe it’s important that our residents have a real opportunity to help shape our services, so they can best meet their needs. The consultation is a chance for you to share your thoughts on what the right support looks like.” 

The current service has been extended until September 2026, to allow time to consult, assess the results and consider any changes to services. At this stage, there are no proposals for the future look of the service.
