What is Slimming World
Overview
Slimming World is a weight-loss programme that offers group meetings, online resources and community support to help members change eating and activity habits.
Members can join weekly groups or subscribe to online services to access tools, recipes and support networks.
Membership types
Memberships are offered in-person (group-led) and as online subscriptions, including app-based purchases from Apple or Google platforms.
How you join and pay (direct, Apple App Store, Google Play) affects how you cancel and where refunds are handled.

What happens when you cancel
Access to service
After cancelling a subscription you typically retain access until the end of the current paid period.
Auto-renew will be turned off and no further payments will be taken after the period ends.
Data and account status
Cancelling a paid subscription does not necessarily delete your account or personal data held by Slimming World.
If you want data removed, contact Slimming World directly through their official support channels and request account deletion.
Will I get a refund?
Refunds for App Store purchases
- Refund requests for purchases made through Apple must be submitted to Apple using their "report a problem" or refund process.
- Within 14 days of purchase you may be able to request a "Right of withdrawal" via Apple; Apple’s terms decide eligibility.
Refunds for Google Play purchases
- Google Play manages refunds for purchases made through its store and you must request refunds through Google Play's refund process.
- Slimming World does not issue refunds for purchases made via Apple App Store or Google Play; these are handled by the platform.

Your consumer rights in India
Cooling-off and withdrawal
Indian consumer protection laws often provide a cooling-off or cancellation period for certain services and digital purchases, commonly 7 - 14 days depending on the service.
For app subscriptions, platform terms (Apple/Google) largely govern cancellation and refund procedures for purchases made through their stores.
How to assert rights
- Keep transaction records and receipts when you subscribe via App Store or Google Play.
- If a refund is required, file the request with the platform (Apple or Google Play) and follow their stated process.

Documentation checklist

- Account email/username used for the Slimming World subscription.
- Payment method details and transaction dates.
What to include in refund or support requests
- Clear statement of the cancellation or refund request and relevant dates.
- Screenshots of subscription entries in your Apple ID or Google Play subscriptions page if applicable.

Common mistakes
Relying on Slimming World to cancel app-store subscriptions
Many people assume Slimming World can cancel an App Store or Google Play subscription on their behalf; the platforms control those subscriptions.
If you bought via Apple or Google, cancel in your Apple ID or Google Play account to stop renewals.
Missing time windows for refunds
Waiting past the platform refund window (for example, Apple's 14-day right of withdrawal in some cases) can reduce refund options.
Always check the purchase date and act promptly if you want a refund through the platform.
