Bingley slimmers are helping to raise cash for a worthy cause through their ‘Clothes Throw.’ Members of the Crossflatts Slimming World Group gave more than 100 bags of clothing which became surplus to requirements following their slimming success to the Cancer Research shop in Shipley.

Slimming World consultant Ros Tonks, who runs sessions in Crossflatts, said: “I gave 82 bags out and I had more than 100 filled. My sister died of cancer, my father had bowel cancer.

“It doesn’t matter who you are, there are mothers, daughters, brothers, everyone knows someone in their family or friends who have had it or who have got it.”

Jeanette Boyle, manager of the Shipley Cancer Research shop, said: “It’s brilliant and even when the promotion finishes we will still get a lot more supporters.”
