THE owner of a salon in Rhyl has set up a “giving tree” to support a charity helping underprivileged children and families in North Wales this Christmas.
Tanya Jones, of ONYX Beauty Studio on Bodfor Street, nominated herself to have a tree from North Wales Superkids.
Guests can take a tag from tree, purchase a gift, and then return the donation to the tree.
She said: “I nominated myself to have a gift tree because the salon is on such a busy street, and lots of people pass me every day.
“The box and tags were delivered on Thursday (November 5), and it broke my heart to see children asking for basics such as socks.
“My own children are lucky to never have had, and hopefully never need to, experience such hardship, and I'm hoping me doing this will also teach them how the world can be for some people.
“I have hundreds of tags and I'm one of many pickup points, so it's a splash in the water, but I'm really hoping to drum up some interest over this. I'll pick up any donations from anywhere, too.”
Tanya’s salon is open on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays for tag pickups or donations.
She is also offering 20 per cent off any treatments at her salon for anyone who donates – “as a ‘thank you’ from me”.
North Wales Superkids, a volunteer-run charity, is also collecting donations of new toys and gifts, to support less fortunate families this Christmas.
