HABB's Children's Fund supports around 100 children each year whose parents are, or have been, involved in the hair and beauty industry. HABB helps to provide specialised indoor and outdoor equipment, holidays for poorly and sometimes terminally ill children, as well as essentials such as school uniforms, beds and bedding. Monthly pocket money, holidays and clothing as well as gifts throughout the year on birthdays and religious festivals such as Christmas, are also provided.

Children's Welfare Fund case study

Megan suffers from cerebral palsy and has been a beneficiary since 2001. She was accepted as a beneficiary after her mother wrote to HABB in desperation. Her marriage had broken down under the strain of looking after Megan and as a result, a huge financial burden had been placed on her. HABB has helped out by giving Megan a holiday, pocket money and clothes.
