Teenage fat camp organisers call for subsidy
Leeds Metropolitan University is next week to host a weight loss camp for overweight teenagers for the eighth consecutive summer.
About 150 young people aged between 11 and 17 will attend the camp for at least two weeks of its two-month duration.
Kacy Mackreth, the marketing coordinator of Carnegie Weight Management, the unit of Leeds Metropolitan University that devised the camp, said some parents viewed the residential programme as a last resort when other attempts to reduce their child's weight had failed.
