HealingHandsNetwork receives £3,450 donation
Dear Readers
October is Breast CancerAwarenessMonth and the perfect time to brighten up your salon, give staff and customers a treat and raisemoney for charity, by going pink for Breast Cancer Care.
Did you know that one in eight of us will be diagnosed with breast cancer in our lifetime and 55,000 people are affected by breast cancer every year in the UK; shocking statistics.
Pink Fridays is a national celebration to help raise awareness andmuch needed funds for those supporting victims of this all too common disease, and getting involved is easy.Why not hold a pink pamper party for friends, designate a ‘wear pink’Friday in the salon or sponsor a colleague to dye their hair bright pink!
Your Pink Friday doesn’t even need to be held during October – every fundraising event, no matter how small, will help.You can findmore information on the Breast Cancer Care website at
www.breastcancercare.org.uk
Many companies in our industry are running special promotions to support the cause, plus participating in teamfundraising events. Contact your product suppliers to see what they have to offer in the way of promotional items and retail stock that can help with your fundraising.
This year’s Pink Fridays are being supported by Breast Cancer CareAmbassador, DeniseVan Outen who says: “Come on girls, get those pink glad rags on, bake some pink cupcakes and let’s do our bit to support the 55,000 people affected by breast cancer every year in the UK.”
So get your thinking caps on, and themost innovative ideas will be featured in a future issue of Guild
News.Tweet us with your achievements and photographs (@GuildNewsBeauty), and then give yourself a good pat on the back!
Best wishes,
The Healing Hands Network (HHN) were delighted to receive a cheque for over £3,450 presented to themby Guild Press Ltd, organisers of the BeautyUK, Holistic Health and HairUK
exhibitions.The money – which will be used to fund the charity’s Forces Project in the UK – was raised at this year’s events, in particular through donationsmade at Holistic Health’s Chill Out Zone and through the sale of exhibition catalogues.
The donation was presented to Sue Stretton, one of the directors of the Healing Hands Network, by Guild Press’ Managing Director Gary Hackett, who is also patron of the charity.
GaryHackett,MDofGuild Press Ltd, presents a cheque for £3,457 toHealingHandsNetwork director, Sue Stretton.
The HHN is a small UK-based self-funded charity founded 17 years ago, in the wake of the Balkan conflict and Siege of Sarajevo. Since then, volunteer therapists have been travelling to Bosnia and Herzegovina for a two- week visit where they carry out treatments on survivors of the conflict.
More recently, the organisation has launched the Forces Project based in the UK, providing therapies to returning UK servicemen and women whomay be suffering frompost-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and the other mental and physical after-effects of active service, and also their families.
The donation of £3,457 will help to grow the project further, adding to its work with Combat Stress projects in Colchester, Norwich, Bury St Edmunds, London, Liverpool, Cardiff and SSAFA funded homes for the families of injured soldiers including Norton House in Birmingham, as well as Fabcamps in Cornwall andWhitby for the bereaved families of the forces.
Sue Stretton, director of the HHN, comments: “As the charity receives no funding apart fromdonations, we are extremely grateful for this contribution – especially as it comes fromfellow therapists who appreciate the difference that holistic therapies canmake to someone experiencing PTSD or coming to terms with amputations and
injuries.Themoney will be used to build on the success that the Forces Project has gained so far and enable us extend the work that our volunteer therapists do across the UK.”
Guild Press’Managing Director Gary Hackett adds: “We are very proud to support the Healing Hands Network, and know that themoney raised and kindly donated by our show visitors will be put to excellent use and enable the HHN teamto grow on the admirable work carried out so far with the Forces Project.”
