I was at an awards dinner and sitting next to the Chairman of the Hair & Beauty Benevolent Fund who mentioned this sponsored bike ride to me. Since 1853, HABB has offered financial support and funding to individuals and their families facing illness, bereavement or financial hardship. HABB makes life easier by providing special equipment and house modifications for those that need it, as well as furniture and equipment to help disabled hairdressers and beauty therapists continue working. Anyways, I was sitting there at dinner and I heard a voice behind me saying "oh, I'll do it!" ... and realised it was me... NOW about the HABB - The Hair & Beauty Benevolent (HABB) is the official industry charity, dedicated to helping hair and beauty professionals facing difficulties in life. Through HABB's Children's Fund, specialist indoor and outdoor equipment is provided, holidays for poorly and sometimes terminally-ill children, as well as essentials such as school uniforms and bedding. or many people, contributing to HABB is a way of putting something back into the industry that has been so good to them. For some, it's the realisation that success can be fleeting, and unexpected events can completely change your circumstances, especially in this industry and current climate - so even a fiver would be amazing. Thank you so much! Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Hair and Beauty Benevolent gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation. So please sponsor me now!
