BREAKING NEWS WALK FOR WATER

Aveda employees, hairdressers, friends, and even Capital DJ Margherita Taylor, donned their walking boots for a five-mile charity trek around Regent’s Park. The event – which kick-started Aveda UK Earth Month 2010 – was

raising money to give access to clean water for everyone; currently only one in seven people in the world have this luxury many of us take for granted. Aveda UK and Scandinavia general manager Vincenzo Minore saID:

“This year, Aveda is proud to be supporting WaterAid – an international charity working to transform lives by improving access to safe water, hygiene and sanitation in some of the world’s poorest communities.” Aveda Earth Month 2010 is calling for strategic local and global action to protect local waterways and empower communities.

Margherita Taylor and her friend set off for the walk.

HIGH-RAISERS

Staff at HOB Salons donned their pyjamas and played childhood games to raise over £25,000 for HAIRraising – the Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s charity set up by John Frieda. The award-winning hairdressing group held the

company-wide charity day – which saw many stylists go to work on their day off – aimed to help raise the target of £1 million towards new operating theatres at the hospital`. Clients reaped the benefits as prices were

reduced between 10am and 4pm, with all of the proceeds going to the appeal; while GOSH patients enjoyed getting pampered, and eating cake. HOB Salon in Camden even had a live band

providing entertainment for those on the Lock, and HOB Bushey auctioned a signed England football shirt. HOB Salons’ creative director Akin Konizi, one

of the campaign’s co-founders, said: “Having visited the hospital myself, I’ve seen directly how this money can help and am very proud of the entire team for raising this outstanding total.”
