THE owner and two staff from a Huddersfield hair salon have raised well over £1,000 for charity.

The trio from the Richard Charles Hair Spa in Kirkburton took part in Cancer Research UK’s first ever overnight walk which took them on a 26 mile route which started and ended in the centre of Manchester.

They were, pictured from left, receptionist Sally Sommerville, salon owner Richard Hirst, and beautician Claire Harrison.

Sally said: “It was the hardest thing we’ve ever done, but the three of us kept each other going. It was quite emotional when we’d finished”

It took them just over nine hours to complete the challenge.

Sally added: “We would also like to thank all our family and friends and particularly the clients of the salon who helped us raise the money.”
