about social team
Our Social Team – The Heart Behind the Group! π
You may have heard me or others in group mention the term ‘Social Team’ and wondered who exactly they are and what they do. Well, wonder no more!
The amazing individual roles you’ll read about below are the beating heart of our Slimming World group – our behind-the-scenes heroes who help create the warm, welcoming, and supportive experience you enjoy each and every week. π
These wonderful helpers give up their time freely, not for applause or reward, but simply to give back to our Slimming World community.
From setting up the room to supporting new members, their efforts are what make our group truly special.
ο»Ώπ So, next time you see them, don’t forget to offer a kind “thank you” – we genuinely couldn’t run group without them!
Pay Person
Our Pay Person is the first friendly face you’ll see each week at the pay desk. They’re in charge of checking members in, taking weekly fees or countdown payments, and making sure everything is recorded accurately.
Whether you’re using cash, card, or topping up your countdown, they’ve got it covered! β
It might seem like a small task, but this role is hugely important in helping group run smoothly and efficiently.
The Pay Person helps keep things flowing so you can get on with the important stuff – like heading to the scales and getting weighted.
Weigh Person
The Keeper of the Scales and the Secrets!
Our Weigh Person is the lovely human who greets you at the scales each week – with a warm smile, a kind word, and absolutely no judgement! π They’ll let you know whether you’ve had a loss, a maintain, or a little gain, but don’t worry – they’ll never announce your weight out loud unless you specifically ask. π€«β¨
They’re trained to handle your personal info with total confidentiality, and the screen they use shows only limited information – just what’s needed to keep things ticking over. So, rest assured – your privacy is always protected.
Now, let’s be honest – sometimes the result isn’t what we hoped for (we all have those weeks! π¬), but please remember: if you’re ever upset, it’s okay to speak to me as your Consultant. The Weigh Person is there to support you, not to take the brunt of your off-weeks. They deliver your result with kindness, always. π
Give them a smile – even after a gain – because they’re cheering you on just as much as anyone else in the room.
ο»ΏAnd let’s be fair… they’ve seen more bums on scales than the average GP! ππ
Shop Keeper
The Slimming World Snack Superhero!
Our Shopkeeper is your go-to guru for all things tasty, tempting, and totally on plan! From Hi-Fi bars to handy recipe books and limited-time offers, they run our Slimming World Shop with style and a smile. π Whether you’re topping up your favourites or fancy trying something new, they’ll help you find just what you need to stay on track. π«π
They make sure everything is set up before group, keep things stocked and tidy, and help you with payments (yes, they take card too!). π³ They’re also a fountain of knowledge when it comes to flavours, best-sellers, and what’s flying off the shelves faster than you can say “Mango & Passionfruit Hi-Fi!” π
So next time you’re in the queue, give them a cheerful nod – because thanks to them, we’re all just a little bit more prepared (and less snacky) for the week ahead! π
Cafe Manager
β Brewing Up Kindness, Caffeine & Community! π±
Our Café Manager is the warm heart behind the refreshment station – serving up freshly brewed bean-to-cup coffee, tea, instant coffee, and the occasional healthy snack, all with the flair and finesse of a professional barista (just with more Hi-Fi bars and less hipster beards! π). Whether you’re after a quick cuppa or a cosy chat, they’ve got you covered. π«π
In true Slimming World style, they do it all with care – creating a lovely, welcoming café vibe that gives our group that extra sparkle of sociable joy. π They also champion our planet-friendly mission by encouraging you to bring your own reusable cup – helping us cut down on paper waste one brew at a time. ππ
So pop by, grab your drink, and soak up the warmth – because our Café Manager doesn’t just serve refreshments, they help serve up the feel-good factor that keeps us coming back week after week. βπ¬β¨
Raffle Ticket Seller
Spreader of Joy & Prizes! π
Meet our fabulous Chief Raffle Wrangler – the one armed with a roll of tickets, a cheeky grin, and the magical power to turn £1 into the chance of Slimming World stardom (or at least a nice candle and a bar of Hi-Fi! π).
ο»ΏEvery week, they help raise funds to support our group, and in return, you get the chance to win a lovely little prize to brighten your day. β¨
It’s more than just a raffle – it’s part of the fun, the laughter, and the community spirit that makes our group so special. And let’s face it, even if you don’t win, you’ve had a laugh and helped keep the group going strong. π
So bring your coins, tap your card, or just flash a smile – and get ready to hear those winning numbers called! You never know… this week could be your lucky ticket! ππ
Team Helpers
πͺ The Behind-the-Scenes Heroes! β¨
Before you even walk through the door each week, our amazing Team Helpers have already been hard at work – setting up chairs, arranging the interest table, putting up the visual boards, and making sure the room is clean, tidy, and ready to welcome you with open arms. π§ΌπΌοΈπ
They’re the first in, the last out, and the quiet superstars who create the comforting and organised space that makes our group feel like home. π Whether it’s laying out leaflets, popping up posters, or making sure no chair has a wobbly leg, they do it all with heart and dedication.
And when things get busy or someone’s off, you’ll often find them stepping into other roles – helping at the scales, manning the shop, or lending a hand wherever it’s needed. πͺπ
Next time you take a seat, glance around the room and smile – because thanks to our Team Helpers, every detail is looked after with care. They are truly the glue that holds group together! π«Ά
