About our partnership

At Cancer Research UK, we’re proud to call Slimming World our partner. Since 2013, Slimming World’s Consultants, members and head office employees have raised more than £25m to support our life-saving work through their hugely successful fundraising campaigns. 

The Big Slimming World Clothes Throw

An annual stock generation campaign where Slimming World Consultants and members donate clothes, they’ve slimmed out to be sold in our 600 Cancer Research UK shops. The campaign has gone from strength to strength, providing a regular source of high-quality stock for its retail stores, worth on average over £2m per year.

50% of the value of clothes donated (in the UK) as part of the Slimming World Big Clothes Throw (max £3m) will go towards research into using the immune system to fight solid cancers.  The remaining 50% will be used for research into cancer.

Slimming World does Race for Life

In 2023 Slimming World became an official sponsor of Race for Life, continuning their sponsorship in 2024 and 2025. In 2024, over 10,000 members and Consultants took part in events across the country and raised over £980k.

Body Magic and London Marathon

More than 100,000 members have taken part in challenges such as walking up to 10,000 steps a day for a month, running in the London Marathon or taking part in online challenges during the pandemic. These fundraising campaigns have helped members be more active, aligning with Slimming World’s programme while also raising £800k for pioneering cancer.

A shared goal

Like us, Slimming World is committed to helping the public make healthier choices and reduce their risk of cancer. By sharing information and expertise, together we're building on this understanding and reaching new audiences with important messaging.
