About Angel Hair & Beauty Foundation

Angel Hair & Beauty Foundation is a UK registered charity committed to advancing wellbeing, inclusion and opportunity within our community through vocational training and community-based care services.

Our charitable purpose is to support individuals who face financial, social or personal barriers by providing access to vocational beauty and barbering training, alongside free hair, beauty and wellbeing services for vulnerable people, including older adults, people with disabilities and those experiencing hardship.

Many individuals are unable to access training or wellbeing services due to cost, isolation, disability or lack of support. We exist to reduce these barriers by offering practical assistance, subsidised learning opportunities and inclusive community outreach activities that promote dignity, confidence and personal development.

Through our work, we help individuals gain skills, improve self-esteem, and feel supported within their community. Our services are delivered in safe, welcoming environments and are designed to create positive, lasting outcomes for those who need them most.

Who We Are

Angel Hair & Beauty Foundation is a UK registered charity dedicated to improving wellbeing, inclusion and opportunity for vulnerable members of the community.

📜 Registered Charity Number: 1203536

We work to remove barriers to wellbeing and vocational opportunity for individuals who face financial hardship, disability, health challenges or social isolation. Through practical care and skills-based support, we aim to promote dignity, confidence and social connection.

Our Charitable Purpose

Our charitable purpose is to advance public benefit by supporting community wellbeing and access to vocational opportunity.

We do this by:

• Providing free hair, beauty and wellbeing services to vulnerable individuals

• Supporting access to vocational training for people who may otherwise be unable to afford course fees

• Delivering inclusive, community-based activities that promote confidence, independence and social inclusion

All of our activities are delivered for public benefit and are designed to respond to identified community need.

Who We Support

Our work prioritises individuals who experience barriers to accessing wellbeing services or training opportunities, including:

• Vulnerable adults and elderly individuals

• People living with disabilities or long-term health conditions

• Individuals experiencing financial hardship

• People affected by social isolation or reduced access to wellbeing support

Due to limited resources, our services are targeted and prioritised based on need, availability and capacity.

Why Our Work Matters

Many people in our community face inequalities that limit their access to basic wellbeing services or opportunities to develop vocational skills.

For vulnerable individuals, access to compassionate care can significantly improve confidence, mental wellbeing and social inclusion. For those seeking skills and training, financial barriers can prevent progression into employment or independence.

Angel Hair & Beauty Foundation exists to address these challenges in a practical, accessible and community-focused way, delivering support that makes a meaningful difference to people’s lives.
