  • Change4Life

    Change4Life is England's first ever national social marketing campaign to reduce obesity. In designing it, the Department of Health and its agencies drew on academic and commercial sector expertise, behaviour change theory and evidence from other successful behaviour change campaigns, and commissioned a substantial and ongoing programme of research among the target audiences.

  • Time to Change

    Time to Change is England's most ambitious programme to end discrimination faced by people who experience mental health problems. It is run by Mind and Rethink, and is funded by the Big Lottery Fund and Comic Relief. It is being evaluated by the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College, London.

    The programme of 35 projects involves: local community projects; a national high-profile campaign; a mass-participation physical activity week; legal test cases; and training for student doctors and teachers.
