KH Hair X Cancer Research UK
The salon group has committed to raising a minimum of £10,000 throughout 2026.
KH Hair is already well-known for its charitable ethos, having previously supported Breast Cancer Now, the NSPCC’s Childline and, most recently, NHS Charities Together.
KH Hair’s salon teams have pledged to go all out in 2026 with a number of fundraising activities which will include physical challenges, raffles, themed fun days and many more initiatives. They will work with the charity’s regional relationship managers to align with its annual campaigns including Walk All Over Cancer, Stand Up to Cancer, Bowel Cancer Prevention, Breast Cancer Awareness and Mouth Cancer Action.
“The Group chose to support Cancer Research UK because the work they do is vital in the battle against the disease. “Sadly, one in two of us will be affected by cancer in our lifetime and having members of our team already touched by it makes this cause very close to our hearts,” he explains. “A big thank you in advance to everyone who chooses to donate and support the tremendous work of Cancer Research UK,”
– Darren Messias, Managing director.

The team at KH Hair in Leicester have kicked off the year’s fundraising with a collective ‘rain or shine’ 100km walk/run and finished January strong with an eight mile team walk.
“Over the last 50 years, cancer survival in the UK has doubled. In the 1970s just one in four people survived their disease. Today, two in four survive. However, we know we need to go much further and much faster. We hope to accelerate this progress and see three in four people surviving their disease by 2034, and the money raised by KH Hair in 2026 will really help us achieve this,”
– Becky Elphick, Regional Relationship Manager, Cancer Research UK.
