SLIMMERS in York have been clearing out their cupboards and making donations to support homeless people in the city.

A charity collection was held by Slimming World after Christmas and throughout January and February, which allowed a substantial donation to be made to Carecent in St Saviourgate.

The collection was organised by Louise Crawford, a consultant in York.

Matt Briggs, a local Slimming World manager, said: “She has done this for the last three years but this is the first year that the team were involved. She was blown away by the charity of our members.

“And you can imagine how thrilled the lady who manages the Carecent Centre was when they pulled up with two cars loaded with donations.”
