Mynewhair, which was founded in 2006, has raised over £2,000 by hosting a dog walking charity event which saw about 100 people turn up.
The charity was set up by Trevor Sorbie MBE in memory of his sister-in-law, Jackie, who lost her hair while undergoing chemotherapy for bone cancer.

The event invited dog owners to come together on April 15 at Stokes Bay, where they a walked along the shoreline and then enjoyed an afternoon of activities at The Alverbank Hotel.
Trevor said: ‘I would like to say a massive thank you to those who joined us and helped raise £2,000 for both mynewhair and Battersea. We had such a fantastic day and it’s great to see so many people come and support two fantastic charities that are very close to my heart.’
Carole Sorbie, Trevor’s wife, raised £1,800 in raffle prizes which were up for grabs on the day. These included £150 of L'Oréal professional haircare products, £700 cut and colour at Angelo Seminara hair salon in Knightsbridge and a four-ball golf voucher for Cams Golf Club in Portchester.
