GATSBY & MILLER HOST CHARITY EVENING IN SUPPORT OF AT CHARITY

A fabulous pamper evening at Gatsby & Miller’s Harpenden salon has given a major boost to a local charity.

Over 50 local ladies flocked to the salon in the High Street on Wednesday, October 7 to sip a glass of prosecco and enjoy professional hair styling by the talented Gatsby & Miller team or a mini-manicure or glamorous make-up.

The event raised more than £800 for the A-T Society, a small but dedicated charity based in Harpenden which works countrywide to support families with children who have a rare degenerative genetic disorder.

“It is absolutely fantastic to get support like this from the community and we are really grateful to Gatsby & Miller and to everyone who supported the evening,” said William Davis, chief executive of the charity.

“Because the condition is so rare, the people we support are all over the country so it is difficult to get local activities to help us fundraise and that makes events like the pamper evening very welcome. That’s especially true here in Harpenden as this is where the society was founded and where two local children suffered from this dreadful disorder.”

The decision to host the event on behalf of the A-T Society came about through a conversation with one of Gatsby & Miller’s clients who works for the charity.

“We are very keen to work closely with the community so when one of our clients talked about the society, hosting an event for them seemed the ideal opportunity to support a good cause which is based in Harpenden,” said salon manager Chris Goodman.

“It was a very good evening – lots of laughs and jokes, a real ladies’ night out. We set up a dry-styling bar and that was enormously popular as everyone wanted to look glamorous. There were raffles with prizes from ourselves and other local businesses and we’d like to thank everyone who supported a great event.”
