Corby Slimming World groups' party fundraiser for Lakelands

In December, members from Sonia's Slimming World groups in Corby had their first Christmas party since covid restrictions were lifted.

Having foregone parties due to Covid, members were keen to reinstate the popular annual event.

Sonia said, 'Members across all my groups make firm friends with their fellow slimmers, and our party nights were always popular. So when members approached me to reinstate it, I felt it was a no brainer!

‘Plus, dancing is a great form of keeping active and great fun, and it fits perfectly with our Body Magic programme! I also felt that we could use the event to help our local Lakelands Hospice, so a portion of the ticket price went towards supporting it.'

'Lakelands provides amazing day care for local residents, bereavement support, and so much more. The staff there are amazing and so welcoming to their visitors, and they work tirelessly, and it's obvious, they enjoy what they do '

On the night, members raised £120 which was donated on Friday 5th January to Lakelands Fundraising Manager Jenny Standen. "I want to thank Sonia and her lovely members for thinking of us really is appreciated"
