Slimmers have joined together to spring-clean their wardrobes and donate their clothes to Cancer Research UK in support of the national fundraising campaign 'The Big Slimming World Clothes Throw'. Members of the Tenby Slimming World group collected all their unwanted clothes, shoes and accessories to donate to their local Cancer Research UK shop to support the campaign. The campaign is a nationwide fundraising drive that sees Slimming World members across the UK donating clothes to Cancer Research UK, Slimming World's charity partner in 2014. Last year, slimmers donated £888,586 worth of stock across the UK. All profits go to support the charity's life-saving work to help beat cancer sooner. Enfys Davies who runs the Tenby group which meet every Monday at Augustus Community Centre, Augustus Place, says her members were more than willing to donate their unwanted clothes to help such a worthwhile cause, and jumped at the chance to recycle the clothes they've slimmed out of to help raise money. She said: "Members of my Tenby Slimming World group have really embraced this fabulous fundraising campaign and they have been more than happy to donate their 'big' clothes because they know that they're never going to need them again! Between them, members of the group have lost an amazing 1,455-and-a-half pounds or almost 104 stone since January this year and now they're looking and feeling fantastic - I'm very proud! "One in three of us are affected by cancer and being overweight increases the risk of developing the disease, so we're determined to do anything we can do to help fight cancer and help people lead healthier lives. "At the group each week, I support members to make healthy changes to the way they shop, cook and eat that they can keep up for life. I'm delighted that my members are always so keen to pull together and support local good causes. "Cancer touches so many people's lives so most people are keen to contribute. The money raised will support Cancer Research UK's research that helps to find new treatments and, in the long term a cure for cancer." Chris Hearn, who runs the Cancer Research UK shop in Tenby, says: "We welcome clothes and items of all shapes, sizes and styles and were absolutely thrilled to receive such a huge donation of clothing from the Tenby Slimming World group. It's wonderful to be able to help celebrate the amazing weight losses and the improvements to health that Slimming World members achieve. We're delighted that they've chosen to use their slimming success to raise money for Cancer Research UK - it makes a real difference to our fundraising efforts and it's good to raise awareness that being overweight increases cancer risk too." Anyone who'd like to lose weight and join Slimming World's Big Clothes Throw is welcome at the Tenby group, which meets every Monday at 5.30 and 7..30 at Augustus Place Community Centre.
