It is with deep sadness that we share the news that our beloved founder Margaret Miles-Bramwell OBE passed away earlier today, surrounded by her family.
Since founding our precious organisation 55 years ago, Margaret has loved, nurtured and protected it – along with each and every member, staff member and Consultant who’s been a part of the Slimming World family. Her determination to help people shed the burden of excess weight without shame or guilt has seen Slimming World grow from a single group in 1969 to the global authority in weight management that it is today.
She undoubtedly touched hearts and changed lives for millions of people, and although I never met her personally I will be eternally grateful for everything she has given me – an eating plan that is so generous and flexible that it has allowed me to be the slim, healthy, confident person I've always wanted to be whilst enjoying my food and drink more than I ever did before, a group support system that feels more like a community, loads of new friends, the privilege of being able to help make life healthier, happier and better for my members, and much more besides ❤
