LEARN the tricks of the trade in hair and make-up with Tricks and Treats Beauty Night in aid of Childline.
The charity beauty event will be host to masterclasses and demonstrations in hair and make-up by industry professionals. Beauty experts from around the city will be answering questions on all the tricks of the trade to raise much needed funds for Childline.
Organiser of the event and volunteer for Childline, Emma Blowers said; “Childline is at threat of closing for 5 hours a night due to a decline in funds. After 15 years of operating on a 24 hour basis this closure would be detrimental to the service and for the young people who rely on Childline for support… We don’t receive any government funding so that’s why we are really looking for peoples generous donations more than ever.”
Childline has been operating in Ireland for 26 years and in that time they have answered over 5,000,000 calls from children from all over the country. This year from October to November Childline has launched an emergency appeal to help save its night-time listening service.
Tricks and Treats Beauty Night takes place at The Savoy Hotel on Thursday, October 30, from 6.30 – 9.30 pm. Tickets are available on the door and cost €20, including champagne on arrival and entry to a prize draw.
There will be 20 goodie bags to give away on a first come, first serve basis.
