CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Youth

Werrington Wanderers Under-8s is a little team very close to my heart. Marie Sherwin has been a Merlin Lash and Beauty client for many years and her son, Ally, takes part in our Annual Pumpkin competitions. So when Marie came to me for support after Ally’s football team folded, I jumped at the chance to help out.

It turns out that 80% of the grassroots football community are concerned at how the cost of living crisis will affect their ability to run their clubs and pay their subs. So Marie volunteered to help set up and run the new team, but she needed a main sponsor and funding. So Merlin Lash and Beauty were delighted to support them with a new home and away kit, and we have other funding projects planned for future.

Sport, as we know, plays such a huge part in sustaining young people’s physical and mental wellbeing. And, who knows, we might even find the next Harry Kane or Erling Haaland?
We believe clubs like Werrington are so important to the local communities, to allow kids to take part in and enjoy sport. We are so proud to be part of their journey and will continue to support them in every way we can.

“I would like to introduce myself, my name is Marie Sherwin. I am a single parent doing my utmost to bring my son up to be as happy as possible. I have a passion to make sure that every child has an opportunity to develop themselves as best they can, no matter their abilities. When Ally’s first football team folded and the children were really sad, I started to look for another team for them ALL to play for, as I wasn’t leaving anyone behind. Luckily I found the Werrington Wanderers, who have been amazing and really supportive at every level. They helped set up the training grounds, coach the boys until we had our own coaches and they continue to support us. Our first training session was at the local park where we just thought we would turn up for training and pay our subs. Then we had the bombshell that we would need to help run, coach and raise funds for the team. I took the role of finding the funding and sponsors and the first person that came into my head was my lovely friend Merlin! I knew this would be a great project for her as she has the most amazing ideas and is a very inspirational lady. She got involved straight away, helping us by purchasing our home and away kits. And as she is so amazing that I know she has some other things in the pipeline when she comes to watch the boys play later this year, and I can’t wait for them to meet her. We at Werrington Wanderers and the boys themselves are so very grateful that she gave us the opportunity to get our amazing kits – and we dedicated the blue away kit in honour of Merlin’s favourite colour. The boys have won their last two friendly games and the season starts on September 11. So big up for you strong ladies out there working hard at what you do – you are all truly amazing! Goooo Werrington Wanderers U8’s ⚽️🖤💚⚽️”

MENTAL HEALTH

Merlin Lash and Beauty is a supporter of the mental health charity MIND. If you are experiencing a mental health problem, supportive and reliable information can change your life and that is exactly what MIND offers. They believe no one should have to face a mental health problem alone. They listen, give support and advice and their values very much align with ours here at Merlin Lash and Beauty. We probably all know people who need, or have needed support, and who may no longer be here so this is a charity that means a lot to us.

FOODBANKS

Merlin Lash and Beauty regularly contributes to local foodbanks. We believe it is so vital to give something back to our community, especially to those who may be struggling at this difficult time.
