Congratulations to Mark Thomson and Richard Hunt of Haslingden who took part in a 100km sponsored bike ride to raise funds for “Stepping Stones” a children’s unit in Haslingden that provides services for youngsters with special needs.

Mark and Richard who work at Thomson’s Hairdressers on Lower Deardengate raised approximately £600 for Stepping Stones which they hope will make a valuable contribution to the funding of this essential organisation. Mark and Richard say they are relieved they don’t have to cut hair sitting down.
