Power to women
In a month that included two stage shows, numerous appearances for Wella across the UK, in-salon training seminars in several cities, and attending to her own clients in salon, Jamilla Paul still managed to fi nd time to organise a Ladies’ Lunch for her adopted charity, REstore.
The lunch for 110 women raised nearly £2,000 which will help REstore continue its support for women struggling to get back into the workplace.
Jamilla, owner of Jamilla Paul Hair & Beauty, has been a patron of REstore since it launched more than three years ago, helping raise funds and support as well as providing a makeover for every participant so they feel at their best as they begin their job search.
She also runs an in-salon programme that encourages clients to donate unwanted clothes to the charity’s shop in central Rochdale, which she helped open in 2013.
“It is such an amazing charity,” says Jamilla, who was named Rochdale Business Woman of the Year in 2013. “Many women, for whatever reason, fi nd getting back into work a challenge and REstore helps them seek out the right job opportunities and coaches them so they’re confi dent and well-prepared to apply.”
