SLIMMERS have raised £1,660 for a children's hospice by taking part in a sponsored walk.
Kath Moss and her colleagues from Weightwatchers presented a cheque to David Poffley, fundraiser for the Butterwick Children's Hospice, in Stockton.
More than 100 leaders and members took part in the walk along the Castle Eden Walkway.
The hospice was chosen as the charity to benefit from the event by a member of Weightwatchers whose child was cared for there.
Mr Poffley thanked all those who had taken part in the walk and congratulated them on raising so much.
He said: "In the absence of public sector funding, the hospice relies almost entirely upon individuals, groups and companies within our community to provide the £85,000 needed each year to run the facility.
"Sadly, within the catchment area of North Yorkshire, Cleveland and County Durham, there are over 200 families who have a child with a life-limiting illness who need the very special care that a hospice can provide.
