News
 

Orchids Nail & Beauty Academy proudly organised and sponsored this year’s Trends & Spends Expo in aid of St Catherine’s Hospice. The event, which was held at the Scarborough Rugby Union Football Club, was a massive success, raising £160 on the raffle alone. A number of the supporting businesses made donations also. Thanks to everyone who took part and made the day so enjoyable.

Following the huge success of our courses in Jersey last year, we will be returning to deliver further training in 2011.
