HOOP (Helping Overcome Obesity Problems) UK is a registered charity which operates as a membership organisation to represent the voice of the obese person. HOOP members form a mutual support group and provide a valuable link between those who struggle on a daily basis and the healthcare organisations that provide evidence based weight management services.

HOOP supports children, young people, adults and their families. It also provides support and information to health and care professionals and the wider public.

HOOP will also provide a useful link for professionals who are seeking to increase their knowledge base, confidence and overall awareness on the subject of overweight and obesity.
