A GROUP of super slimmers are helping to refurbish two Locks Heath community venues by shedding the pounds.

The £130 raised by Slimming World members has bought materials to protect Lockswood Community Centre users from the elements.

The kitchen facilities at the hall were also improved after B&Q lent a hand. And slimmer Shirley Taylor raised £156 towards the running costs of Locks Heath Day Care Centre.

Michelle Mackrory runs a number of classes each week at Brookfield School in Sarisbury Green and Victory Hall in Warsash.
