Here at Popin, we want to support and encourage healthier lifestyles for all our families. This starts from when you first get pregnant through your life's journey.
We run groups and individual services throughout the year to support you and your family with healthy eating, physical fitness, emotional well-being and advice on stopping smoking.

Healthy Start Scheme
If you are pregnant or have a young child between the age of 1 and 4 you could be entitled to Healthy Start vouchers worth up to £4.25 a week for both you and your child. For a child from Birth to 1 the voucher is worth £8.50. These vouchers can be spent on milk, fresh or frozen fruit and veg (plain with nothing else added) and infant formula milk at your local shop. In addition to this you benefit from getting coupons for free vitamins too. Paper vouchers are being phased out and moving to a pre-paidcard system
To qualify for the vouchers, you must be at least 10 weeks pregnant or have a child under 4 years old AND you or your family get
Income support, or
Income-based Jobseekers Allowance, or
Income-related Employment and Support Allowance, or
Universal Credit (with a family take home pay of £408 or less per month)
You also qualify for the Healthy Start vouchers if you are under 18 years old and pregnant, even if you do not get any of the above benefits or tax credits.
