Creations Hair and Barbering Studio on Moor Road, Orrell teamed up with SKILS CIC also in Orrell to support adults with both learning and physical disabilities to improve social opportunities, learn life skills, increase independence and well being.

A salon spokeswoman said: “Everyone involved has been thrilled to bits with their progress and achievements.”
