They are used to losing hundreds of pounds but now big-hearted slimmers in Stalybridge & Dukinfield have turned their attention to raising them. Members of the Stalybridge & Dukinfield Slimming World group collected 105 bags of clothes they’ve successfully slimmed out of to raise money for Cancer Research UK as part of the national fundraising campaign, the ‘Big Slimming World Clothes Throw’.Abi, Mandy & Maria who run the Stalybridge Labour Club groups along with Wendy from Dukinfield, encouraged members, their friends and families in Stalybridge to collect the clothes, shoes and accessories they no longer need to generate stock for the Stalybridge Cancer Research UK shop. Maria says,“This year’s Big Slimming World Clothes Throw event has been a fantastic success and I was overwhelmed by the amount of bags my members managed to collect for Cancer Research UK – they really are amazing! It was a fantastic atmosphere in group and it was so rewarding to raise such a phenomenal amount of stock for such an incredible cause.
It’s not just members of the group who have cleared out their wardrobes – we’ve had great support from the whole community. I’m still buzzing from all the donations we’ve had!

Tuesdays 5 & 7 &
Wednesdays 9.30 & 12 with Abi, Thursdays 5.30 & 7.30 with Mandy and
