Victoria Mum: “Cam was able to make new friends and try lots of different sports. I learnt about nutritional values in certain foods. We are looking forward to the follow on programme”
Harvey said: "My eyes have gone sparkly and my hair is shinier. I feel fitter. Doing the rock climbing has been the best bit.
"I've also done swimming, dodgeball, cricket and rounders. I prefer eating healthy stuff.“
Dietician Caroline Hill said: "One of the nicest things is we've seen how positive children are after doing the programme."
