Telford residents who have been shedding the pounds have lost more than weight after donating an “unbelievable” 308 bags of clothing to charity event.
Members of the Dawley and Oakengates Slimming World groups held their annual Big Slimming World Clothes Throw Drop Off on Saturday at The Rest Room in Oakengates, an event that saw a staggering £7,500 of clothes donated to charity.
Last year 186 bags of clothing were donated but Saturday's event saw a final count of 308 bags, which organisers Lauren Bryan and Kerrie Billington said was"much needed" by charities.“We do have an obesity crisis and in Telford two in three people are obese, which is higher than the national average, so the bigger size clothing is much needed by charity shops,” said Lauren. “This year has been incredible though.
“We've had some real success stories in the last year,” said Kerry. “One of our members lost an incredible 10 stone, but it doesn't matter if it has been half a stone or ten stone.
