Clare celebrates super year with Peter Andre

A Slimming World manager from Derry has been congratulated on helping slimmers to lose weight and change their lives by singer and TV presenter Peter Andre.

Clare McDaid, who manages Slimming World groups in Derry, was delighted to get a chance to cuddle up to Peter when he presented the annual Slimming World Awards.

Clare said Peter’s presence at the awards was extra special because earlier in 2017 he supported Slimming World’s most successful fundraising event ever – The Big Slimming World Clothes Throw, which raised a record-breaking £3.3 million in just two weeks. The annual clothes throw encourages Slimming World’s 900,000 group members to donate the clothes, shoes, bags and accessories that are now too big for them to Cancer Research UK, by filling up specially-branded bags and taking them along to their weekly group sessions.

“I couldn’t be prouder of the members in Derry. Throughout 2017 they have lost fantastic amounts of weight, with many of them hitting their target weights, improving their health and boosting their confidence. It’s so rewarding to see people being able to do things that they didn’t think were possible before losing weight, whether that’s having more energy, feeling happier, wearing smaller clothes, taking up new hobbies, reducing medication or doing more with their family and friends. Every week I feel extremely lucky to play even a small part in people’s achievements and I felt very honoured to represent Derry at the Slimming World Awards.”
