A clothing sale was held in Loughborough by local Slimming World groups to raise cash for Leicester hospice LOROS.
Speaking at the event, Slimming World consultant Karen Anstee said: “The money is for LOROS, which was picked by members of Slimming World at the three Loughborough groups, Barrow and Shepshed.
“We hope it will be really busy, with the Vintage Fair next door we’re hoping people will come along from there to support us.”
Staff at LOROS Hospice – including nurses on the inpatient ward – swapped their uniforms for pyjamas yesterday, as part of a fundraiser celebrating the launch of a new charity sleepwear range.
40 giant elephants from LOROS Hospice’s Stomp Round Leicester art trail were auctioned off last night, raising a mammoth £286,800 for the charity.
Make sure to tune in to BBC East Midlands Today at 6.30pm on Friday 3rd October, because we’re going live from the Hospice alongside our Elephants!
