Ladies wil dress in Indian sarees to attend a ‘Bollywood’-style ladies evening this month to raise funds for local charity A Breath for Life.
The Ladies Evening will include Indian canapés, belly dancing, henna tattooing, threading and an Indian cookery demonstration. There will also be Indian jewellery and accessories, a raffle and a DJ and dancing.
Haysham-based A Breath for Life supports brain injured babies, children and adults through hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which encourages the body to self heal. The treatment can be used for conditions such as multiple sclerosis, ME, motor neurone disease, cerebral palsy, stroke, autism, cancer, varicose leg ulcers and antibiotic resistant infections.
The event has been organised by the Pure Essence beauty salon near Carnforth after its owner, Sue Shields, heard how oxygen treatment at A Breath for Life had astounding results with the daughter of one of her clients who suffers from dyspraxia.
She said: “A Breath for Life is a wonderful charity which has such successes with the children and adults who use the oxygen therapy centre in Heysham. A fundraising event like this can have a very big impact on a small charity like this.”
The evening wil be held on Friday, January 27, January at The Longlands Hotel, near Carnforth.
Jane Dean, the Founder of A Breath for Life, said: “Our charity offers help to adults and children from the local area, the UK and abroad every year. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is recognised as great healer for a range of conditions and those who come to us really benefit from the treatment.
“To fund our hyperbolic oxygen chamber in Heysham we need to raise over £40,000 every year. We receive no funding from the government or the NHS, so we rely on fundraising and donations. We are very grateful to Pure Essence for organising the Bollywood Evening and we are sure it will be a great fundraising success and a fun evening for all the ladies!”
Tickets for the Bollywood Evening are £25 and are available from Pure Essence, South Lakeland Leisure Village, Carnforth, telephone 01524 735240.
