Lecturers from the Hair and Beauty department at Harrow College have donated their skills for homeless charity Crisis.
Coron Zammito, curriculum manager of the Hair and Beauty department and lecturers Ellie Zaeni and Sladzhana Dimitrova all volunteered their time over the Christmas period to offer manicures and haircuts to homeless people at the Crisis centre in Camden.
The salon at Crisis helps to boost the self-esteem of people attending the service.
Speaking of her and her colleagues' experience volunteering for Crisis, Zammito said: “It was a fantastic experience. It makes you realise what we take for granted every day and the different reasons why people can end up being homeless.”
Crisis is the national charity for single homeless people, dedicated to ending homelessness by delivering life-changing services and campaigning for change.
The Hair and Beauty department at Harrow College are well known for their charitable endeavours. Last year they raised money for groups including male cancer charity Movember, Age UK which helps people in later life and Harrow Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre which helps people in the north west London area with multiple sclerosis to improve their quality of life.
