Salon’s boost for maternity unit campaign

Utopia hair salon, in Douglas, is the latest business to show its support to The Jane’s Big Push.

The campaign is raising money for Noble’s Hospital’s maternity unit.

Last week, staff from the salon presented a cheque for £205 – proceeds from a cake sale – to campaign representatives.

More than £6,000 has now been raised since its launch in March.

The charity With Women Worldwide is spearheading The Jane’s Big Push, backed by our sister paper the Manx Independent.

With Women Worldwide secretary Anne Graham said: ‘I’m delighted with the progress we’re making towards our £20,000 target, which is thanks to the support of the community.

‘We’ve held a wide range of fundraising events, including a fabulous May Ball last month, and we have lots more in the pipeline. We’d welcome support from anyone who would like to raise money for our worthwhile cause.

‘And we’d love to hear from any business interested in matching our efforts.’

People with a head for heights are encouraged to sign up for an abseil, taking place at Maughold Head on July 21 and 22.

The entry fee is £15 and the minimum sponsorship to be raised is £100.

Anyone interested should email chrissie50@manx.net

Money raised during the nine-month campaign will be used by midwives working to refurbish two rooms on the labour ward into a home-from-home birthing room.

It will provide a much more relaxed and low-tech environment. Donations can be made to With Women Worldwide and sent to The Secretary, Anne Graham, 10 Lezayre Park, Ramsey, IM8 2PU.
