J O ACADEMY JOINS SALONS AND COLLEGES ACROSS THE UK TO SUPPORT GREAT ORMOND STREET HOSPITAL

J O Academy joined John Frieda and some of hairdressing's biggest names recently to support HAIRraising, a fundraising appeal that invites the hairdressing community to come together to help raise £1 million towards new operating theatres at Great Ormond Street Hospital. The operating theatres will be used to help children from all over the UK who require specialist neurosurgery.

To help raise money for such a good cause, J O Academy organised a non-uniform week and donated 50% of the salon proceeds taken in June 2010. As well as the money donated by their clients, they raised £343.71 for the charity.

Karen Pymer of J O Academy said, "The hairdressing community is coming together to make a difference to children's lives by helping to build new operating theatres at Great Ormond Street Hospital. We're really delighted to show our support for such a fabulous cause.

"All of the team want to get behind HAIRraising and show we will go to any lengths to help these children!"
