On the 19th September I had the pleasure of attending the 9th annual HAIRathon, hosted by Theo Silverstone and the team at Kink Hair Salon in Mill Hill, London.
This is part of their annual fundraising project which includes the HAIRathon and a charity football match.
Each year they raise money for 2 charities and this year they have chosen to support No Panic and The Bernice Cowen Charitable Trust.
The HAIRathon ran from 10am till 10pm and the proceeds from the haircuts done during this time are to be donated to the two charities. There was also a BBQ, cake sale, face painting and a raffle.
Theo’s interest in supporting No Panic stems from his wife, Rita Simons’ personal struggle with anxiety from a young age. Rita is also a Patron of No Panic.
It was a lovely day, all the stylists were very busy and there was a really positive feel flowing through the salon. There were many attendees partaking in the BBQ and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
There were No Panic balloons decorating the inside of the salon and some wristbands and promotional pens were also distributed.
The salon staff had made their own t-shirts which were fabulous and all personalised and individual to each stylist.
They are a very close knit work force and it was clear there was a real family feel there.
No Panic is very grateful to Theo, Rita and the whole team for putting on such a wonderful event and also to all those who attended, thank you for showing such amazing support.
