Cutting Room launches annual Community Clause Campaign

THE Cutting Room at Riverstone, an award-winning hair salon, has kicked off its annual Community Claus Campaign (CCC).

The CCC is a Christmas present drive helping ensure local children and families doing it tough have presents under the tree this year.

Now in its sixth year, the campaign works like this: when someone drops off a new, unwrapped present, The Cutting Room doesn’t just pass it on — they go one step further and buy two extra gifts themselves.

All three presents are then delivered to local children through North West Community Services (NWCS).

“North West Community Services is proud to be part of a community where business and community join together to give at Christmas time, supporting those who are struggling,” said Pamela Wade, Community Connections Team Lead at NWCS.

“The Cutting Room in Riverstone has been consistent in their support, and their clients are always generous with their giving. Every little bit can make a big difference to those who may have otherwise not received a gift this season.”

Penny Hooper Whitmore, co-owner of The Cutting Room, says the campaign is a true community effort.

“Our clients have the biggest hearts — they’re the reason this campaign keeps growing every year,” Penny said.

“We’re proud to match their generosity and do our part. It’s amazing what can happen when a community comes together to look after its own.”
