Jill Lauder, of Lady J’s hair salon, in Dundas Street, Grangemouth, has been running the Feelgood sessions for a number of years now and the endeavour received the prize for Initiative of the Year at the recent Scottish Women’s Awards 2019 in Glasgow.

Jill said: “I don’t really believe in awards, but this one was really nice. We dind’t think we would win, we just wanted to have a night out, get dolled up and enjoy our dinner.

“This was for the team and what they do. I couldn’t believe it when we won – my daughter had to drag me up because I though it was going to be somebody else who won.”

Earlier this year the kind hearted Lady J’s team donated their time wages and all their takings from a special on-day event to Strathcarron Hospice – coining in £2015 for the cause.

Inspired by the national awards success, Jill now has plans to try to expand the monthly pamper sessions to other areas.

“I’m on a mission now,” she said.
