The Salon at College of West Anglia’s King’s Lynn campus showed incredible community spirit by hosting two fundraising events in week raising money for two important causes.

For Macmillan Cancer Support, students and staff organised a charity morning. This included a bake sale, raffle, and a special treatment bundle of a facial and a manicure. Thanks to the generosity of clients, students and staff, the Salon raised an amazing £405 for Macmillan. Janice, a client said ‘This was a fantastic morning. The charity treatments of a facial and manicure were very relaxing and enjoyable. I went home very relaxed with bright red nails! All for an amazing cause.’

Just days later, the Salon students came together again to help support the Pandora Project, a local charity helping those affected by domestic abuse. Their ‘Paint it Purple’ event saw clients booking in for purple-themed manicures with all proceeds donated to the charity. The event raised £65.60.

A client, Ann who joined the event said ‘Mia took such care and precision on my nails, she did incredibly well. I love the colour and the service was fantastic. Thank you for hosting such a lovely event.’

Both events highlight the CWA’s Salon staff and students supporting charities close to the local community.
