Beauty Students Provide Pamper Session for Carers
Beauty Therapy students from South Eastern Regional College’s (SERC) Downpatrick Campus put their skills to the test in a pre-festive season pamper session for 56 local carers.
The session was organised by SERC’s Beauty Therapy team in collaboration with South Eastern Trust.
Twenty-four Level 2 and Level 3 Beauty Therapy students welcomed the carers from across the local Trust area to the College before offering back massages, mini facials and mini manicures.
Principal Lecturer, Fiona Quinn said, “We were delighted to host the pamper session, which offered valuable ‘me-time’ for so many carers who are busy with caring responsibilities – quite often, finding it difficult to take time out for themselves. The session was win-win for everyone involved.xa0xa0
“Our students gained valuable experience engaging with clients and putting their skills into practice.xa0xa0
“We received some wonderful feedback from the carers, who thoroughly enjoyed the pamper session which included a bite to eat in the College Kitchen, and the opportunity to sit down, relax and have a chat with other carers following the treatments.”
One carer said: “It was lovely to just get spoilt and take some time out for myself. The back massage was amazing, and it was the most relaxed and chilled I have felt in a long time.”
