MAN v FAT, the UK’s leading male weight loss programme, is to partner with Aldershot Town’s Shots Foundation to support men in the town to take steps to improve their health and wellbeing.
Having supported tens of thousands of men to lose nearly 1,000,000lbs of weight since they got started in 2014, MAN v FAT now works across Football, Rugby and Soccer.
The MAN v FAT Aldershot club has seen hundreds of men from the area to lose 4,464lbs of weight and make countless mental health and lifestyle improvements. The new partnership with the Shots Foundation will enable more people to be aware of both organisations’ activities, getting more active as well as looking to celebrate success.
Karl White, Public Health Contracts Manager for MAN v FAT said: “It’s great to have partnered with The Shots Foundation. The work they carry out in the community trying to get people more active and to live healthier lives correlates with what we try to achieve here at MAN v FAT.
“This partnership will enable more people to be aware of both organisations’ activities and hopefully result in participants being happier and healthier!’’
The Shots Foundation runs a wide range of community engagement programmes across Aldershot and the local area. Through the universal language of sport, they engage with individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.
Jamie MacAllister, Head of the Shots Foundation, said “We’re delighted to be partnering with MAN v FAT in Aldershot. Here at the Shots Foundation, one of our core themes is health and wellbeing, and we’re looking forward to helping MAN v FAT further their already great impact in the Aldershot area.”
To join MAN v FAT Aldershot, participants would need to be aged 18+ with a BMI of 27.5 or higher to get started. If they’re residents of Hampshire County Council, they may also be entitled to a funded spot for the first fourteen weeks of their time with MAN v FAT
