Confident Wishaw slimmers have raised £700 by donating their old clothes.
As part of the Big Golden Slimming World Clothes Throw, the Wishaw & Lanark Slimming World group collected a phenomenal 25 bags of clothes, shoes, homeware and accessories.
Bags of clothes were donated to local Cancer Research shops as part of the national campaign.
One bag is worth £25 to the charity and across the UK it is hoped to raise a total of over £3m.
The event aims to raise awareness of how keeping a healthy weight can reduce the risk of developing some types of cancer.
Lian McCulloch who runs the Wishaw & Lanark Slimming World group, is delighted to have raised so much money for charity.
She told Lanarkshire Live: “I can’t quite believe how many bags we managed to collect – I knew my members were amazing but I didn’t expect such an incredible level of effort.
“Seeing members donate their too-big clothes is just the cherry on top for me as a consultant. What I find so special is seeing members transform before my eyes as they lose weight. Many go from shy, apprehensive individuals who join with their confidence at rock bottom. They don’t believe they could ever lose the weight they dream of losing.
"I’m so proud of my members and their efforts. They really do put their heart into everything they do. Whether it’s their weight loss, supporting each other each week, or raising money for charity, they continually blow me away."
