Spring is the season of fresh starts – and there’s no better way to mark your weight loss success than by saying goodbye to the clothes you’ve slimmed out of.
As part of our partnerships with Cancer Research UK and the Irish Cancer Society, we’re inviting members to bag up any too-big clothes and bring them along to their Slimming World group. We’ll then donate them to raise much-needed funds for these amazing charities.
If you’re not a Slimming World member, now is an exciting time to join and take the opportunity to declutter and donate to support life-saving research.
Discover the hidden benefits of clearing out your clothing clutter
Get involved
The Big Slimming World Clothes Throw event runs in Slimming World groups from 26th April to 9th May 2026. Groups will be buzzing with members sharing their inspiring stories and celebrating their weight loss success.
If you’re on your slimming journey, this is the perfect opportunity to say goodbye to those too-big clothes forever!
All you need to do is:
- pick up a purple Clothes Throw bag from your local Slimming World group (or orange for Irish Cancer Society)
- have a rummage for clean, good-quality clothes you’ve slimmed out of, or that don’t suit your style
- fill up your bag (or bags!) and return it to group between 26th April to 9th May
Your Consultant will arrange for the bags to be donated, and the clothes will be sorted and sold to raise those much-needed funds.
There’s still time to join Slimming World and get involved in the Clothes Throw fun! Find details of your nearest group here.
Slimming World Online members can order up to two bags on the e-shop. They’re free with any purchase. If you order them on their own, you’ll need to pay postage (£1.99/€5.79). Bags can be dropped off directly at your nearest Cancer Research UK or Irish Cancer Society shop.
Consultant Ashleigh is over the moon with the mountain of purple bags donated by members of her Gilnahirk group. Over the last few years, she’s collected more than 2,500 bags, raising approx £75,000!
Share the love!
If you’re already a Slimming World member, bring a friend along to group between 26th April and 9th May 2026. You’ll get a week for free and your friend will kick-start their group experience with bags of weight loss inspiration!
Share on social and win!
Post a photo or video of your Clothes Throw success on social media, tagging @SlimmingWorld and you will be automatically entered into our weekly draw to win shopping vouchers and Slimming World goodies!
We’d love for you to share the clothes you’re saying goodbye to, and the difference Slimming World has made to your wardrobe – as well as those purple piles of donation bags, ready to go make a real difference.
Our cancer charity partnerships
At Slimming World, we’re committed to helping our members make healthier choices, which in turn can help to reduce the risk of cancer. Our charity partners, Cancer Research UK and the Irish Cancer Society, share that goal.
Together, we’re helping to fund research into obesity-related cancers, to build on our understanding of the links between weight and cancer – and ultimately to help save lives.
So, let’s get filling those Big Slimming World Clothes Throw bags!
