A prize of £1,000, or a Monica Vinader gold diamond tennis bracelet, or a £500 Selfridges voucher were among the prizes for this year’s Hair and Beauty Charity raffle. Quite the impressive draw! Some contributors were very, very lucky. And most importantly, it is all for a good cause. The raffle raised just under £11,500 this year and will help support those in the hair and beauty industry who have fallen into hard times.

A challenging winter
