Recently a new initiative has been launched in conjunction with lead cancer centres enabling patients to access the service of trained hairdressers in the network. There has been an overall increase in client referrals since the partnership with Cancer Care and Darren himself helps around 20 Mynewhair clients a week at his salon in East Boldon. In 2009 he was honoured by the Fellowship of British Hairdressing for driving this charity forward to what it has become today with focus on taking the service and training worldwide with the support of leading haircare manufacturers.

There will be a quiz night on Friday, July 15, starting at 7pm (doors open at 6.30pm) in West Boldon Lodge environmental centre, situated on the outskirts of West Boldon on A184 near Testos roundabout before joining A19. Teams of up to eight people can enter at a cost of £2 per person. There will be a limited range of hot and cold drinks available but you are encouraged to bring your own refreshments including alcohol and snacks if you wish. The aim of this year’s fundraising is to improve the woodland around the Lodge by planting new trees, buying equipment to better maintain the woodland and paying for much needed tree surgery in the maturing woodland and enable more children and adults better understand the importance of trees and the environment.
