We’d like to say a big

Thank you!

Hair at the Academy would like to say a huge thank you to some wonderful people and organisations who, without their help, would not have made this great project happen. So many people and businesses have helped by giving up their time, services and money to help realise the dream and helping people grow and develop to reach employment.
