From June residents will be able to self-refer to gain advice on how they can take small steps to live a healthier and longer life.
Health professionals including GPs will also be able to refer people into the programme which is aimed at tackling health inequalities by taking a life-course approach working with children, adults and families.
The Change4Life wellbeing programme is a key priority for the Council since it took on responsibility for public health in 2013.
