The Childhood Obesity Trailblazer Programme was an ambitious programme that aimed to support the mobilisation of cross-sector action in localities across England to tackle childhood obesity. The five Trailblazer projects were in Birmingham, Bradford, Lewisham, Nottinghamshire, and Pennine Lancashire.

The programme was funded by the Department of Health and Social Care and managed by the Local Government Association with support from OHID between 2019-2022.

It aimed to:

  • test the limits of existing powers through innovative and determined action to tackle childhood obesity
  • share learning and best practice to encourage wider local action
  • develop solutions to local obstacles and consider further actions government can take to enable ambitious local action and achieve change at scale
