A Slimming World consultant from the Fens has been recognised with a top award.
Dawn Breacher, aged 59 who runs the Wimblington Slimming World group at Parish Hall every week, was presented with the Community Impact Award at a celebration day at the company’s Derbyshire head office.
Dawn has helped 55 of her members to reach their target weights, a goal each member chose for themselves, over the past year, with many more close to doing the same.
She said she is proud of the difference she makes within her local community.
She added: “Attending this event is an achievement for everyone in the Wimblington group – they’ve reached for the stars with their weight losses!
“Over the past year alone, they’ve shed an incredible amount of weight and drastically improved their health.”
Dawn has also achieved Slimming World’s Gold Award this year.
The win acknowledges her for running one of the best weight loss groups across the UK and Ireland.
In fact she was named in the top 10 consultants in the company thanks to all the awards she has achieved.
Dawn was greeted on the day by some of the company’s directors and given a behind-the-scenes tour of the head offices.
She then enjoyed a celebration lunch before having a photo taken to mark the occasion.
Dawn said: “It was an absolute honour to be invited to the Slimming World head office for this celebration day.
“It was so special meeting other consultants like me who are working across the UK and Ireland to support people to lose weight and improve their health.
“Hearing all of the amazing milestones we’d helped members to achieve was staggering, and I felt so moved knowing me and my members are a part of it.”
Dawn lost five stone with Slimming World herself in the year 2000 before becoming a self-employed consultant and got herself back to he target weight this year.
She said: “in February 2026 I am celebrating my 25th anniversary of working for Slimming World.
“She loves helping other people achieve their target weights eating such good wholesome food.
“She has improved her blood pressure, cholesterol and feels just as fit now as she did 25 years ago”.
She added: “It’s so special running my own Slimming World groups and supporting my members with their weight loss.
“Seeing them reach each milestone and celebrating with them is the most incredible feeling.
“I truly believe I have the best, most rewarding, role in the world and this award makes it even more special.”

Dawn runs her Wimblington Slimming World group on Mondays at 9.30am or 11am at the Parish Hall.
She said: “When it comes to feeling unhappy with your weight, I really have been there too, so I completely get how tempting it can be to turn to solutions like weight loss injections that might appear easier and promise to be a quick fix.
“Sadly, there’s no magic spell for losing weight and, most importantly, keeping it off long term.
“It requires real change, to build lasting healthy habits around food, drink and activity and to address the deeper mindset shifts that are needed to support your weight loss long term.
“That’s why we are seeing people who are taking weight loss drugs join Slimming World groups, to get support that will help them maintain their weight loss long after the medication stops.”
