A Chichester salon has snipped its way to success — raising sixteen hundred pounds for My University Hospitals Sussex.
The team at Creations held a non-stop “cut-a-thon” as part of the charity’s First 50 Club challenge, which encourages local businesses to turn a 50-pound donation into as much as they can through community fundraising.
The money will help support patient care across local hospitals.
Salon Manager Emma Shepherd shared her pride in the team’s achievement: “Our Cut-A-Thon was a huge success, not only because we raised £1,600, but because it brought our team, clients, and community together for such a meaningful cause. Everyone gave their time, energy, and support wholeheartedly, and we’re so proud to contribute to the incredible work My University Hospitals Sussex does for patients and families across the region.”
MyUHS spokesperson John Price commented: “We are so grateful to the team at Creations for their incredible effort, creativity and generosity. Their 24-hour Cut-A-Thon is exactly the kind of community spirit the First 50 Club celebrates. Every pound raised will help us provide exceptional care for patients across Sussex.”
