Net.Weight is a University of Brighton project funded by the Department of Health. We are investigating the potential of information technology to support self-care in weight management. We are working with people in Brighton & Hove who taking steps to manage their weight to find out how ICTs might be used to help provide the information and support they need. You can find out about the project on the Net.Weight website.

This website - Net.Weight.Community - has been set up to support a series of workshops that we are running from April to July, 2008. We intend to use the site to find out more about how people use information on the web and how they rate the resources they find there.

The Net.Weight directory has a list of organisations that provide weight-related information to people in Brighton & Hove, which we are adding to all the time. If you look at this section of the site you will find information to support weight management, such as exercise and diet advice.

The Workshops link has details of the participatory learning workshop program and the resources that we are using in them, including links to more sources of weight-related information.
