Mel Pountney, Curriculum Manager for hair and beauty at the college said: "We’re delighted to be welcoming local hair and beauty businesses as well as new and old students to this event.

"It promises to be a fantastic showcase for local talent and we’re pleased to be able to help Hope House Children’s Hospices as part of the event as well."

Fundraiser Bekki Fardoe said: “Thank you so much to the hair and beauty team at Shrewsbury Colleges Group for choosing to raise money for us at this event.

“Without the support of our local community we could not be here for the seriously ill children and the families that need us the most.

“We wish the team good luck with their first event.”
