GENEROUS slimmers in Builth Wells have been donating the clothes they’ve slimmed out of to The Big Slimming World Clothes Throw in support of Cancer Research UK.
The Builth Wells Slimming World group have collected 82 bags of the clothes, shoes and accessories from members who slimmed out of their old wardrobes and feel confident they’ll never need their ‘before’ clothes again. With each bag worth around £25 to the charity, slimmers in Builth Wells have raised around £2,000 for the charity.
The Big Slimming World Clothes Throw aims to increase awareness of how keeping a healthy weight helps reduce the risk of developing some types of cancer. Consultant Maggie Richards, who runs the weekly group in Builth Wells, is proud of her members’ fundraising efforts. She said: “The members never fail to amaze me with their weight loss results week after week and it has been great to see so many bags of clothes donated through The Big Slimming World Clothes Throw.
