A GROUP of big-hearted slimmers from Brooklands, Sale, are doing a sponsored slim to raise money for two good causes - Stockdales and Polycystic Kidney Disease.

Members of the Brooklands Slimming World group, which is held every week at St John the Divine Church, Brooklands Road, are taking part in a national Slim for Good campaign.

Natalie James, fundraising manager, for Stockdales, based in Sale, says: “We’re thrilled that Slimming World members in Brooklands have chosen to support us. Their donations will help fund our new minibus which will be used for day service activities so adults can learn more skills to become more independent as well as day trips and holidays.”

Anyone wanting to take part in the six-week Slim for Good campaign can do so any time from Wednesday 26th February. Sponsorship forms are available from the Brooklands Slimming World group, which is held at St John the Divine Church every Wednesday at 5.30pm and 7.30pm.
