Slimming world is vital for people for many reasons. After nearly 2 years of socially distancing and numerous lockdowns people need to get their lives back on track. Obesity is sky rocketing due to the lockdowns which is affecting people's mental and physical health. Opening up slimming world will help people lose weight, get healthy, provide an outlet and help with their mental health. Gyms are open, pubs are open, restaurants and cinemas are open so why on earth can't slimming world open!? Enough is enough now!

People need to get back for health reasons

Maria Smyth (Millstreet, 2021-08-25)

As an active slimming world member and former member of Hayley’s group I know how important it is to have that weekly contact face to face it is ridiculous that groups in Ireland are not allowed to open properly. In the UK we are open again following all the rules that are set to ensure we are all safe

Christine Clements (Canvey island , 2021-08-25)

We need to keep our lives on track - Covid hasn't killed us but obesity can...

Mary O'Connor (Valentia Island, 2021-08-25)

I also run a Slimming World group and would love to open fully

Sharon Brosnan (Tralee, 2021-08-25)

#13

This is an essential service..if the government would let these groups go ahead safely then its fighting obesity which means reducing health risks and avoiding the use of hospital beds!

Yvonne Power (Kerry, 2021-08-25)

#15

It’s so important to so many people. If the can open the pubs surely this is more important the mental health problem

Ckaire Stack (Kerry, 2021-08-25)

I am a long term member of slimming world and I know hiw important for my health and well being attending group every week meeting every one else offering advise accepting advise and trying to keep healthy weight its so important for people to know someone is there evert week to reach out to and help them without group and support they will continue bad habits and go off plan and their health and wellbeing will suffer

Martina swift (Listowel , 2021-08-25)

#27

I am signing this petition as I have been a slimming world member for a few years not being in the group and having the therapy that you need is having detrimental effects on peoples weight loss we need the support as having virtual support is not the same .
to me it seems everybody can overcrowd at sports venues and pubs but can’t walk into a room with safety measures in place we need this open

Heidi O'neill (Fermoy , 2021-08-25)

Slimming World is a vital part of our local community in that it offers advice and support to a specific group of people who may not get it elsewhere. My local group has gone above and beyond to put all Covid safety measures in place. We need to be able to meet as a group and support each other and I see no reason why this cannot happen IMMEDIATELY!

Chris Faust (Fermoy, 2021-08-25)

#32

Obesity levels at all time high.

Marie Hickey (Killarney , 2021-08-25)

#33

I’m signing because SW classes take place in a safer, more controlled environment than most indoor (& many outdoor) events that are already permitted.

Stephen Scales (Glenbeigh, 2021-08-25)

#35

I really need to attend a meeting for my health

Sheila Bulbeck (Killarney , 2021-08-25)

#37

Slimmimg World is a health management group which is a vital tool to achieving good health and a healthy lifestyle not only for its members but also for their families. Being a member can mean a reduction in visits to doctors and as overweight is a serious issue in the treatment Covid and has serious consequences I firmly believe the group classes MUST be re-opened now. The professional management of groups goes without question so I truly cannot understand why group classes remain closed.

jacintha Eustace (Milltown Killarney Co Kerry, 2021-08-25)

I want my members to get help and more support they need.

Anna Boyd (Kinsale, 2021-08-25)

#42

It now does NOT make any sense anymore, I've been following all the rules all along for the safety of my members! Now none of this is helping my members lose weight and they need our Slimming World groups more than ever!!! To watch what I saw in Cooke Park, total disregard to face mask wearing with 40,000 people broke my heart 💔 I was at the previous match and never felt so "unsafe". Total lack of social distancing! We can run our groups in a covid safe environment for our members, with a full risk assessment in place, LET US OPEN!!!

Tracey O Donohue Sinnott (Waterford, 2021-08-25)

#43

My members need my group support now, more than ever before!!!
I need my members to support my group and they need to be able to be in the room, together ❤

Carol Murray (Co Cork, 2021-08-25)

It's essential to have this opened properly. Don't understand why football matches pubs and restaurants can open and this can't.

Rose Carey (Killarney, 2021-08-25)

#70

I am a Slimming World Consultant who cannot operate fully and my members and my business is affected.

Ellen Doolan (Waterford, 2021-08-25)

#75

This is a health and wellness service and not a social gathering so it shouldn't be treated as one. We can observe social distancing and all safety and still provide our service to our members.

Chloe O'Donovan (Cork, 2021-08-25)

This group is part of my support system while trying to lose weight.. The fact that I have not being physically able to attend group sessions has greatly affected my journey, there has been a lot of talk in the media over the last few weeks in /on the media about obesity ,, please please let this essential service open .. At group we have approximately 20 people in a well organized room with plenty ventilation , masks and space to distance, 40,000 people at a GAA match !! give us a break let us reopen for our health and mental wellbeing .

One of the safest places to be is a Slimming World Class. It’s ok for people to be indoors in a pub but not ok to attend a safe class to look after your health.

Maria Bateman (Killorglin, 2021-08-25)

Slimming world is essential and has always followed the nphet guidelines and is safer than 40k people attending the all Ireland recently!!

Grace Drohan (Waterford, 2021-08-25)

I feel very strongly that Slimming World groups in co. Kerry Ireland should be able to open up as normal (obviously with covid safety in practice). It seems to me nonsensical for it not to when other things are re-opening up in full.

Jacqueline Carter (Killorglin, 2021-08-25)
