Established in 2011, the British Obesity Society (BOS) is a dynamic and prominent charity dedicated to tackling the critical issue of obesity.
Comprising a diverse community of individuals who share a common vision, we are committed to enhancing the lives of all those affected by obesity and overweight across Great Britain.
At BOS, our aspiration is to craft a world where obesity ceases to be a prevailing public health concern. We envision a society where every individual has the opportunity to embrace a healthy and enriching life. This vision encompasses equal access to essential resources and unwavering support to nurture healthier lifestyles.

To Support
BOS is at the forefront of funding and conducting cutting-edge research on the intricacies of obesity. We explore its origins, effects, and efficacious strategies for prevention and treatment.
To Research
Recognising the multifaceted nature of obesity, we collaborate with other organisations, healthcare providers, educators, and policymakers to adopt a comprehensive approach to tackling obesity on a societal level.
