One You

Our lifestyles can be more unhealthy than we think and if you are busy with other things it can sometimes be hard to make time for yourself. The One You campaign is all about helping you get back to a healthier you.

One You can support you to make simple changes towards living a longer and happier life. The One You website provides tools, motivational support and encouragement every step of the way, to help improve your health right away. You are not alone – One You gives you the tools and personalised support to help you make small changes yourself, or with friends and family.  

If you are over 18 years old, you can take the One You quiz which will show you how you score against different measures of being healthy and offers advice on how you could improve your score.
