A group of members from the Milford Haven Slimming World group have been raising £££s whilst losing lbs between them.

Eighteen members from the town's group, led by Michelle Reade, showed they had a head for heights as they bravely took part in an abseil for charity, raising just over £1,000 for the local Withybush SCBU, as well as Slimming World's charity Smiles and the Alzheimer's Society.

The group, who between them have lost over 36 stone, bravely took on the charity abseil as losing this amount of weight gave so many of them the confidence to take on the challenge at Pembroke Castle. The abseil team now believe they can achieve anything!

Said Michelle, Slimming World leader: "Raising over £600 for the SCBU was Lucy Davies, who has lost more than two-stone in four months, while mother and daughter Paula and Ffion Thomas raised a fantastic £200 for the Alzheimer's Society (and have lost nearly six-stone since Easter!)

Michelle continued: "Eating a healthy balanced diet and enjoying family favourites such as spaghetti bolognese, lasagne and chicken curry have helped all of my members achieve their weight loss dreams and gain confidence which they never thought possible."
