THIS month a group of Slimming World consultants were invited to a wellness day at Carlisle College.

Consultants from Botcherby, Petteril Bank, Belah, Warwick Bridge and Brampton along with their team developer from Penrith talked to staff and students about Slimming World and the benefits it can have.

Andrea Brough, team developer, said: "This day was very informative and relaxed, a lot of students already knew about Slimming World as their parents attend groups in their local area.

"Healthy swaps were discussed with the students to help create a healthy lifestyle and an example of how to make burger and chips healthier surprised many students on how healthy it was."

During the day lots of students were interested in how to make their lunchtime meals healthier and ideas were given on what they could bring to college, either hot or cold, as well as healthy snacks.
