SLIMMERS in Launceston are dropping pounds and bagging up all the clothes they've slimmed out of to raise money for a good cause in The Big Slimming World Clothes Throw.

Members of the Launceston Slimming World group have spring-cleaned their closets and are donating the clothes that no longer fit their new slimline figures to their local Cancer Research UK shop.

Kate, who runs the group, says members were delighted to get behind the cause and jumped at the chance to recycle their old tops, dresses, trousers, skirts and more.
