West Lothian
College beauty students dig deep for Pudsey
Generous
staff and students at West Lothian College have dug deep and raised hundreds of
pounds for Children In Need.
The
college’s HNC & NC Beauty students opened the Platinum Salon doors to the
public for a special day of fundraising in aid of the BBC children’s charity.
Treatments,
which were performed in return for a donation, ranged from waxing to
mini-facials, files & polishes and back massages, with more than £270 being
raised.
Diane
Nisbet, Beauty Lecturer at West Lothian College, said: “There were more than 40
students who took part and they did a really amazing job. We do a lot of
fundraising projects but this year it was actually the learners themselves who
came to me and suggested the beauty treatment day. They used social media and
word of mouth to really pull the crowds in and, on the day, they dressed in
their pyjamas to add a bit of fun to the whole thing. We’re planning similar
events in the future including a fundraising effort for breast cancer
charities. It’s a great way for students to practice what they’ve learned and
also give something back to the community.”
