A global presence

MEND delivers healthy lifestyle programmes to families in the UK, United States, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Denmark.

UK

MEND Programmes are now available in more than 350 locations across the UK, including sites in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. 

Australia

The MEND 7-13 and MEND 2-4 Programs have been customised to meet local Australian Government guidelines and recommendations.  The State Government Departments of Health in NSW, Victorian and Queensland has commissioned MEND Australia to deliver the MEND 7-13 Program.

New Zealand

In New Zealand, District Health Boards and Primary Health organisations are delivering the first fully funded New Zealand MEND 7-13 Programs.

United States

Low-income families living in underserved communities in the US can now access the MEND Program thanks to the recently founded MEND Foundation. 

MEND has adapted the 7-13 Programme for the US, running initially in New York.  In 2010, MEND will also run programmes in California, Illinois, North Carolina and Washington D.C.

Denmark

The MEND Programme has been adapted for use in Denmark in partnership with the Oxford Health Alliance (OxHA) www.oxha.org and is currently being evaluated through a government-funded grant.

Middle East

We are currently looking for partners to make the MEND 7-13 Programme available in the Middle East. The GCC states are our initial focus and we aim to have projects running by 2011. Click here for further information and contact us if you would like to get involved.
