A hair salon is hoping to raise £5,000 in a week-long series of fundraising events for a cancer charity.
The week, in aid of Cancer Research UK, will feature events from Monday to Saturday organised by Zoology, in High Street, Wanstead.
The hair salon, co-managed by Mark Mountney and Zena Appleton, will kick off the events with a Disney Day on Monday, in which staff will dress as their favourite characters and a lucky dip will be provided for children.
A pamper evening, bingo event, and popstar dress-up day are also planned for the week.
Ms Appleton said: “We have a team meeting every Friday and the whole team decided together it wanted to raise money for Cancer Research.
“Everyone contributed with ideas for the week and half term seemed the perfect time to do it, we are hoping to raise around £5,000.
“All of us who work here know someone with cancer and while the salon has done charity events in the past, we wanted to do something a bit bigger.”
