Location: Hammersmith Town Hall King Street W6 9JU London United Kingdom

The challenge is to find new, creative and exciting ways to get young people and families eating well and moving more.

The event’s all about what can happen when a group of energetic, motivated people get together to create positive suggestions for lasting change.

No experience or homework is required. Just turn up on the day. It’s free and you’ll get free food and drink to keep you energised.

Your ideas could change lives!

What happens on the day?

We’ll ask you to be part of a team to develop a practical solution to one of four challenges, Choose from:

  1. How can healthy food be more accessible and popular?
  2. How could there be better participation in PE and sport – including use of green space? 
  3. What could happen to help families with young children eat well and move more to build good habits for life?  
  4. How can teenagers be more fit, healthy and body-confident?

Supported by designers and health experts, your team will develop an idea and create a short pitch to showcase it.

At the end of the day, a panel of judges – and everyone taking part – will view all the live pitches and identify those ideas to be turned into reality.

A wide group of people will take part; children, young people and their families, community groups, local business owners, health and care professionals, developers and designers.

The hackathon will be fast, fun and full of hands-on teamwork. We want to show what can happen when motivated local people get together to develop ideas that can have a lasting effect.
