Diabetes Prevention Programme – Real Change for Real Women

South Asian women of all ages, in traditional dress, stand together in a large hall. They smile and wave at the camera.
24-week Bollyfit Diabetes Prevention Programme

In Crumpsall and Levenshulme, 75 women joined our 24-week Bollyfit Diabetes Prevention Programme – and the results have been powerful.

  • Many women lost weight safely and steadily

  • Blood sugar and other metabolic markers improved

  • Women reported feeling more confident, less isolated and more in control of their health

  • Friendships were formed, and movement became something to look forward to


These were women who often felt that “exercise isn’t for me” or who faced cultural, family or language barriers to joining mainstream classes. Through women-only, Bollywood-inspired sessions, we created a space where they felt seen, safe and understood.

“Before coming, I felt tired all the time. Now I move more, I’ve lost weight, and I actually enjoy looking after my health.”
South Asian women stand together in front of a projected screen. the words 'Pre-diabetes & Diabetes Programme for South Asian Women' and 'It's time to Celebrate' are on the screen behind them.

Our approach is simple:

  • Culturally familiar music and movement

  • Women-only spaces

  • Warm, welcoming coaches

  • Time to talk, share and be heard
