As a salon we are fundraising for Beat, the UK's eating disorder charity. This is a charity which has supported and been close with us through challenging times over the years. Beat supports anyone with an eating disorder, their friends and family, as well as professionals working with or worried about an individual in their care.

These serious mental illnesses include anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. 1.25 million people in the UK have a diagnosed eating disorder. They affect people of all ages and backgrounds, and up to one in four sufferers are male. Eating disorders cost the UK's economy £16.8 billion each year. With it being the week for raising awareness for eating disorders, we have decided to come together and share awareness for this illness which needs as much helps and donations as possible as unfortunately it can be overlooked and happens more than we are aware of.
