Anyone in this group work at or know someone who works at Tesco, Aldi or Lidl or anywhere else I could put up a gazebo to action the Big Clothes Throw in April. I really need a contact as I’d like to do a day where we can collect as many bags as possible on behalf of Cancer Research. Cancer Research arrange to collect the bags in the day so no storage required !
A little bit of detail -
The Big Slimming World Clothes Throw 2026 is an annual charity event where members donate clothes they've slimmed out of to Cancer Research UK, typically occurring in spring. The campaign encourages members to clear out wardrobes to raise funds and awareness, with 2026 goals aiming for over 1,500 bags of clothes.
Key Details for 2026
Purpose: To raise funds for Cancer Research UK, with each bag often worth £25-£30, and to celebrate member weight loss.

Donations: Clothes, shoes, and accessories that members have slimmed out of are welcomed.
Impact: The partnership has raised over £30m in total, with Clothes Throw events often contributing over £1m annually.
