Piling up the pounds for charity

A number of those looking to lose weight have put their best foot forward to raise money for charity.

Members of the Holbeach Slimming World group that meets on Mondays have collected £90 so far thanks to a Walk All Over Cancer event.

The Holbeach group’s consultant, Mel Horscroft, said of the charity effort: “I’m so incredibly proud of my members both in the money raised but there commitment to getting active while losing weight beautifully.

“You are very lucky nowadays if you, your family or someone you know hasn’t been touched by cancer so both myself and my members were keen to do our bit and raise as much money as we could.”
