SLIMMING group members took part in a walking challenge and raised £500 for Macmillan Cancer Support and Bliss, the charity for premature babies.

More than 20 members of WW - formerly Weight Watchers - from Barnoldswick and Cowling, together with their families, took part in the annual #WW5kMyWay challenge, which saw them walk 5k from Salterforth to Foulridge.

Taking place on the same weekend as Global Wellness Day, #WW5KMyWay hopes to inspire others to begin their own health and wellness journey.

Carol Wynn, a WW coach, who runs workshops in Barnoldswick, Cowling and Glusburn said: “It was a superb Sunday morning enjoyed by all and plus £500 raised for Macmillan Cancer Support.”
