Enable Leisure and Culture runs the Learning Disabilities Weight Management Service for adults in Bexley, Bromley and the Royal Borough of Greenwich. The programme is funded by the South East London Integrated Care System (ICS) and aims to help adults with learning disabilities lead healthier lives through sustainable lifestyle changes.
