ALLURE Beauty, based at the Health and Wellbeing Innovation Centre in Truro, has raised £2,620 for the cancer support charity, Look Good Feel Better, following a Glitz and Glam night fundraiser.

The evening, delivered in true Allure style, welcomed 120 guests to the Penventon Hotel for a night of empowerment and celebration.

The event featured several highlights, including inspirational talks from guest speakers Andrea Eva and Mary Ellen, who spoke about their cancer journeys, live music by Duane AJ, a professional makeup masterclass by Charlotte Tilbury artists, and a luxury raffle - all centred around the theme of women supporting women and sharing powerful personal stories.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of attendees, ticket sales and raffle contributions raised over £1,600, with an additional £1,000 match donation from Barclays bringing the grand total to £2,620.
