SLIMMING World members in Rochdale have raised £4,605 for Cancer Research UK by donating the clothes they've slimmed out of to the charity's shops.

Slimmers raise £4,000 selling old clothes

The Big Slimming World Clothes Throw with Cancer Research UK is an annual event that takes place in Slimming World groups across the UK.

It sees members donating good quality clothes, shoes, and accessories that no longer fit - and they’re confident they will never need again.

The Rochdale Slimming World groups, who meet weekly across the Rochdale borough (29 sessions to choose from across Monday ~ Saturday), collected 179 bags to help support life-saving research.

Slimming World Consultant & Team Developer Alyson Hartley, who runs the Cutgate groups, says she’s proud of how all our members came together to support the charity, as well as to celebrate how far they've come on their own weight loss journeys.
