Free haircuts at Northwood School for charity

Posted by Charlene Mitchell on Mar 10, 09 04:52 PM in

PUPILS at Northwood School gave away free haircuts as part of a project to create a calendar to raise money for charity.

Hairdressing students at the school in Potter Street, Northwood Hills, treated staff, volunteers and clients of Harrow Mencap to a free hairstyle in the school's in-house salon on Wednesday (4).

The aim of the exercise was to produce a calendar to raise funds for the charity - a service provider and campaigning organisation for people with learning disabilities.

Head of Department, Tonya Niazi, said: "This experience was very beneficial to the students. Not only were they helping to raise vital funds for the charity, but they gained an enormous amount of experience by meeting people from different ethnic backgrounds and with learning disabilities."

Year 13 student, Leanne-Daisy Norton, said: "It was a challenging activity, but was a lot of fun and a great learning experience."
