Slimming World members have raised more than £7,500 for Cancer Research UK in a clothes collection drive.
The fundraising total came from Dan and Mel’s Slimming World groups in Potters Bar, who took part in the Big Slimming World Clothes Throw, a nationwide campaign supporting cancer research through donated clothing.
Each bag of clothes is estimated to be worth £30 or more to Cancer Research UK.
Mel, a Slimming World consultant, said: "I’m proud to host The Big Slimming World Clothes Throw at my Slimming World group to help Cancer Research UK continue its vital work."
The Clothes Throw invites members to donate clothes they no longer need after losing weight, turning personal milestones into charitable action.
The scheme not only helps clear out wardrobes but celebrates achievement and confidence gained during the weight loss journey.
Members often share their stories, encourage one another, and take pride in knowing their contributions help fund life-saving cancer research.
Dan and Mel said they are immensely proud of the continued commitment shown by their members.
Their groups place Cancer Research UK at the heart of their weekly meetings through the Clothes Throw, awareness events, and ongoing fundraising.
Slimming World has supported Cancer Research UK through multiple campaigns over the years, raising more than £30 million to date.
Last year alone, members, consultants, and head office staff raised £3.1 million through the Big Slimming World Clothes Throw.
The scheme forms part of Slimming World’s broader charitable work, which also includes support for Race for Life events.
Slimming World was founded in 1969 and is now the UK and Ireland’s leading weight loss organisation, supporting hundreds of thousands of people each week through community-based groups and its digital programme.
The organisation promotes a flexible eating plan focused on ‘Free Foods’—lower calorie, high-satiety foods—alongside gradual, sustainable lifestyle changes and activity goals.
Slimming World also works with the NHS and other health partners to improve weight management outcomes across the UK and Ireland.
It supports additional charities through fundraising, including Alzheimer’s Research UK and the Irish Cancer Society.
