Errol Douglas Supports Homeless Charity

Three-times Afro Hairdresser of the Year Errol Douglas MBE has donated his services to a group of less fortunate clients by taking part in a Centrepoint project to give young women a life makeover. 

Errol cut and styled the hair of 10 young women from Centrepoint's youth homelessness services as part of the makeover with Elizabeth Arden cosmetics.

They also received an inspirational 'mind makeover' designed by expert business consultant and life coach, Sharron Lowe, to encourage them to focus on personal aspirations, action planning and positive thinking.

Errol says, "This is the third year I've been involved with the project and it's great to see these young women feeling happy and confident about themselves.

"People become homeless for many reasons and it's heartbreaking to hear some of their stories. To give them 100% 'me' time is really rewarding and fulfilling for me as a hairdresser.

"They were all beautiful, and deserved to feel that way as well."

One of the participants, Saron, from Centrepoint's Salter's City Foyer, London, said:  "I absolutely loved it! Both makeovers really gave us girls the confidence to come out of our shells.

"We all learned so much and it has inspired me, in spite of my circumstances now, to write down my goals for the future and be positive and confident and start every day with a smile!"

Thank you so much, by the end of both evenings the young ladies left with their heads held high and a spring in their step. Everyone involved is truly inspirational, thank you for giving your time and skill to put a smile on the faces of the Centrepoint young ladies. Sadie, Learning Manager
