Do you know how we began?
โจ From one tiny hall to millions of lives transformed โจ
Slimming World started back in 1969 when Margaret Miles-Bramwell opened her very first group in a little church hall in Alfreton, Derbyshire. Sheโd walked the walk herself and knew that weight loss wasnโt about punishment or perfection . It was about peopleโค๏ธ Supportโค๏ธ Kindnessโค๏ธ Beliefโค๏ธ A place where youโre lifted up, not weighed downโค๏ธ
From that single hall grew a family of thousands of Consultants and hundreds of thousands of members, each one discovering that real change happens when someone believes in you, sometimes more than you believe in yourself.
Margaret always said weight loss should feel freeingโฆ not like youโve signed a contract with a lettuce leaf. Her message was simple: keep caring, keep pioneering, keep people at the heart of everything.
And thatโs exactly what we do.
Every leaflet popped through a letterbox, every poster blu-tacked with love, every warm welcome at the door itโs all part of her legacy. The legacy we get to carry forward, together.
๐ฌ โShe touched the hearts and changed the lives of millions.โ โ Slimming World
So when we cheer a new member through the door, clap a shiny milestone, or guide someone through a wobbly weekโฆ weโre not just doing a job.
Weโre continuing Margaretโs mission . one person, one smile, one success at a time.
Letโs keep pioneering. Letโs keep caring. And letโs keep changing lives. ๐
