Salon team’s hair-raising effort

Their hard work and fantastic client involvement paid off and the team raised a total of £311.

The salon, on Bradford Road, Brighouse, held a raffle with a range of prizes including luxury treatments, cuts and blow-dries. The team wore purple to show their support of Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice and to raise awareness of its work.

Both charities support families across West Yorkshire by providing care, therapy and experiences for children with life-shortening illnesses.

Gary Taylor, owner of Edward and Co, said: “We love to get involved and support local charities to connect with the community and raise money for such brilliant organisations. For me, anything we can do as a salon to help children battling life-threatening conditions is a great thing to be a part of and the clients have been fantastic in supporting us. We even had a ‘swear jar’ circulating the salon floor – it cost me a fortune.

“We are really pleased and thankful for the support of our clients and the team are looking forward to holding some more charity days later in the year.”
