Hair and Beauty Charity Financial Assistance

The Hair and Beauty Charity provides financial assistance to individuals working in the hair and beauty industry in the UK who have fallen on hard times due to various circumstances. The charity has awarded over £1.3 million in the past decade to industry colleagues and their families. Since the pandemic, there has been a 144% increase in requests for financial assistance, with total annual funding rising by 74%. Beneficiaries are considered on a 3, 6, or 12 month basis depending on their individual situation, with a caring charity committee meeting monthly to review all applications that meet the criteria. The charity particularly helps those who have become ill or disabled, have terminal illness, suffer mental health problems, have become homeless, are carers for relatives or dependents, have suffered bereavement affecting their finances, or are without sufficient income to meet basic needs. This is a UK-based charity that can only offer financial support to UK residents who have worked in the hair and beauty industry.
