Story
I have decided to raise funds for the Hair and Beauty Charity. The hair and beauty industry holds a special place in my heart. It’s not just about looking good; it’s about feeling confident and empowered. Unfortunately, this vibrant and essential industry has been hit hard by recent economic downturns, with many salons closing and countless professionals out of work
To raise the funds I will be cycling for four days in Pathos, Greece. I will be averaging between 40 to 60 miles per day.
Help me to meet our fundraising pledge to the Hair & Beauty Charity. Your donation can make a significant difference in the lives of those who need it most.
Why Your Sponsorship Matters
With your sponsorship, The Hair & Beauty Charity provides practical and financial assistance to hair and beauty professionals who have fallen on hard times. Their mission is to offer support that helps individuals get back on their feet and ultimately return to work. They need to fundraise in the region of £200,000 each year to support beneficiaries.
The Growing Need
Over the last five years, they have seen a staggering increase in the need for their services:
• 1200% rise in applications from people aged 18-30.
• 300% rise in male applicants aged 31-40 since 2019.
• An influx of requests from beauty therapists.
• A 120% increase in applications from those fleeing domestic violence or unable to work due to trauma following a sexual attack.
How They Help
The Charity provides financial payments to assist with:
• Everyday home running costs.
• Essential items such as clothes, toys, and furniture (beds, carpets, washing machines).
• Professional kit replacement where appropriate.
• Refresher training and mentoring opportunities.
Their support is especially crucial for families needing rehousing and those who need to replace essential household items.
