A FORMER Tavistock resident is inviting people to pamper themselves at a beauty evening in aid of her charity trek of the Great Wall of China.

Kerry Hamilton and her friend Jaqueline Watson decided to set themselves the life-changing challenge to raise money for the charity Jeremiah's Journey, which offers support and information to children and their families following a bereavement.

Rather than having to ask friends and supporters for donations towards their trek, the pair decided to hold a beauty evening.

Kerry said: 'We wanted to offer people the chance to get something for giving in real terms.'

The beauty event, entitled 'Beauty Trek', will give visitors the opportunity to meet various exhibitors and watch demonstrations relating to the beauty, health and well-being industry, including hair care advice, dentistry, cosmetics, chiropody, fashion, beauty tips and much more.

Beauty Trek will take place on May 26 at the Duke of Cornwall Hotel in Plymouth from 7pm to 10pm.

There will be at least 15 exhibitors at the event and every visitor will receive a welcome drink and a goody bag to take home.

Tickets cost £7.50 in advance or £10 on the night and are available by contacting either Kerry on 07866 490242 or Jacqueline on 07772 710168.
