The 2009 Slimathon was an incredible success and raised a staggering £72,000 for the NSPCC’s Child’s Voice Appeal. But in true Slimming World style, we’d like to do even better in 2010! All the money raised will again go to the NSPCC's Child's Voice Appeal in the UK and new charity partner, the ISPCC (Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children) in EIRE. The Slimathon is open to Slimming World members and non members alike, so encourage your friends and family to join in too! If you are interested in taking part you can go along to your nearest group to take up the challenge. You don't have to join Slimming World, you can just collect a sponsor form and get weighed free of charge at the beginning and the end of the 6 weeks. Alternatively, email slimathon@slimmingworld.com for more details. Extra supportIf you’re looking for a motivational boost during your Slimathon, why not purchase a 6- week Countdown course which will enable you to stay to group. Not only will you save a fantastic £9.95 but you can then take advantage of the fabulous support offered by our Consultants and you’re much more likely to lose weight.

40 Miles for SMILES is a brand new national event to celebrate Slimming World’s special 40th anniversary year. Between 18th May and 15th June we’re challenging members in our 6,000 groups up and down the UK to cover 40 miles. They can walk, run, cycle or swim the distance, or even come up with their own unique way to travel 40 miles. SMILES’ charity partner for 2009 is the NSPCC and all of the money raised from the event will go to the NSPCC’s Child Voice Appeal to improve ChildLine and the NSPCC Helpline. As well as raising money, 40 Miles for SMILES is the perfect opportunity to get started with exercise. And, if you’re already getting active, maybe this is the challenge you’ve been looking for!

Have you ever considered sponsorship to help you lose weight and raise vital funds for a very worthwhile cause? It works like a charm! Running from now until the end of March, choose any 6 week period to get sponsored to lose weight.
Did you know that 30 minutes of moderate activity 5 days a week has a fabulous effect on your mind and body? Exercise helps to boost your mood, increases your energy level, reduces stress and builds self-confidence, and reduces the risk of conditions like heart disease and diabetes. And with wonderful reasons like that, what more incentive is there to get a little more active? 
It’s Slimming World’s 40th anniversary and that means it’s time to celebrate!
