Hair and Beauty Benevolent
What is the Hair & Beauty Benevolent?
The Hair & Beauty Benevolent is your charity, dedicated solely to helping your fellow professionals in the hair and beauty industry if they find themselves facing hard times.
Who do we help?
We provide help to anyone within the industry, as well as their families, whether they are in financial or other difficulties due to ill health, bereavement or injury.
We make life easier by providing things such as special equipment and house modifications for those that need it, as well as furniture and equipment to help disabled hairdressers continue working.
The Children’s Fund
Through our Children’s Fund, you can help provide specialised indoor and outdoor equipment for disabled children, as well as essentials such as school uniforms, beds and bedding. We also provide for monthly pocket money, holidays and clothing, as well as gifts throughout the year on birthdays and Christmas.
How are we funded?
Events – fundraising events throughout the year including an annual banquet and ball in London and Scotland, a cycle challenge and days at the races.
Membership – industry professionals can make a difference to the work we do through paying an annual membership fee.
Donations – Individuals within the industry organise their own sponsored activities throughout the year on behalf of the Benevolent. Past charity events have included everything from running marathons and climbing mountains, to shaving as many heads as possible in 30 minutes!
Christmas Cards – you can help today by ordering your Christmas cards and 20p per card sold will go to your industry charity.
