SLIMMERS have been putting their excess pounds to good use by raising money to sponsor guide dog training.
Warrington Weight Watchers leaders, Michelle Garvin, Georgia Nunney and Lynne McIver, organised a number of charity events which culminated in a charity ball last weekend at the Village hotel in Warrington.
The night was a success and the grand total of the fundraising over eight months came to £9,541.18.
The money will be used to sponsor a puppy through guide dog training costing £5,000 before presenting the dog to a Warrington resident.
Members insisted on keeping the fundraising going until the £10,000 mark was reached which has allowed the group to put two dogs through training.
