A COSMETIC clinic is calling on Cumbrians to donate items to its campaign that will gift them to domestic abuse victims. For the second year in a row, VL Aesthetics is running the Regifting Beauty campaign to help the Freedom Project, a support service. The clinic is urging people to donate toiletries, skincare products, and beauty products that will then be re-gifted back to those who may not have easy access to the items. Vanessa Brown, owner of VL Aesthetics, said: “Last year’s campaign was extremely successful, with over £5,000 worth of products donated from people around Cumbria. “We would like to double this to £10,000 this year - because it was such a success last year, we need to repeat it.
