SALFORD GIRL SHARON DOES HEAD SHAVE FOR THE CHRISTIE
 

Star date: 21st October 2016

HAIRLESS AND FEARLESS FOR THE CHRISTIE

Sharon Hooley today raised over £350 for The Christie, towards a new HIPEC treatment for the little known peritoneal cancer, by having her head shaved at Supercuts in the Manchester Arndale.

"Life is far too short" says Sharon "So do something at least every week you wouldn't normally do and smile more."

Sharon Hooley's friend, Samantha, has survived the particularly nasty and little known peritoneal cancer and is now raising money to raise awareness of the disease and to help people through a treatment know as HIPEC (see previous Salford Star article – click here).

To help Samantha reach her goal, Sharon decided to do a sponsored head shave, and today the deed was done at Supercuts in the Manchester Arndale, allowing the Salford girl to raise £355.10 with more to come in.

"I'd like to thank Luke Griffiths at Supercuts for doing the shave and supporting me on his day off" says Sharon "And I'd like to say that life is far too short, so do something at least every week you wouldn't normally do and smile more."

There is still time to donate via the Just Giving page, which also has more details on Samantha's story – click here

I had the pleasure of being in Sharon's company a few hours after her head shave, she was still the smiling person I had known, her efforts are indicative of her nature, and makes me wonder why many of our civic leaders and those who would aspire to be, don't follow suit and make a fund raising effort to help Sharon in her quest to help others, but of course that would mean that you actually care, do you ?

It's good to know that within Salford, there are still some kind hearted people left. Just a little deed, like having your head shaved has raised well needed funding for Cancer. Well done Sharon Hooley!!! I am proud to call you a fellow "Housing Advocate" and most of all, "My Friend". Kindest Regards, Tahir Chakotai (Independent Housing Advocate).

SALFORD STAR CLOSES AFTER 15 YEARS WITH ATTITUDE AND LOVE XXX

SALFORD STAR – 15 YEARS OF ATTITUDE AND LOVE XXX

The Salford Star closes tonight after 15 years of giving the community a voice, holding power to account and bigging up all the great things that have happened in the city.

Thousands of people in Salford have been involved in one way or another with the Star and we'd like to thank them all. Salford is a very special city and, hopefully, we've given it a very special community publication.

Star date: 16th May 2021

THE HUMAN COST OF REGENERATION

The Griffiths brothers of Higher Broughton are kind of infamous as the only people to be forcefully evicted from their house as part of the Pathfinder 'housing market renewal' project during the first decade of the 21st Century.

Here, Guy Griffiths, now living in 'sunny' north Wales and one of the main inspirations for the Salford Star's creation, writes the second part his own personal view of the Government project that devastated communities throughout Central Salford.
