Salon is a top fundraiser

Friends Five Star Salon in Sandy raised £2,677 to claim the title of Top Ghd Fundraiser in the East Midlands for Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

During Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October staff organised a ball in Southill and they held a raffle in the salon. Michaela Woodcock, salon manager, said “We loved fundraising throughout October.

“As well as it being a huge amount of fun, it was amazing to know that our fundraising efforts would help such a worthwhile cause.

“To be named the top fundraiser in the East Midlands region is a great achievement and we will continue to support Breakthrough Breast Cancer and Ghd in their fight to stop women dying from breast cancer.”

Five Star Hair Salon won a hamper prize of gourmet popcorn from Propercorn.

Ghd sells hair straighteners and other beauty products. The company has raised more than £6 million for Breakthrough Breast Cancer in the last nine years.

The money will be used to fund research into the disease and develop better treatments.
