Nail industry team takes on charity challenge & offers salon prize in raffle
By Jess Watts | 11 June 2026 | News & Events
Dust and fume extraction company, VODEX, is taking its team spirit to new heights, as six members are lacing up their trainers for a 5K fun run in aid of Mountbatten Hospice.
The independent charity is ‘dedicated to providing a range of care and support for people with life-limiting conditions’. Offering services including hospice care, bereavement counselling, rehabilitation and community support, the organisation helps patients and families navigate some of life’s most difficult moments.
“This cause is especially close to our hearts, as Mountbatten Hospice has supported the families of two of our team members,” a VODEX spokesperson comments. “Seeing firsthand the difference it makes has inspired us all. Its support reaches so many, offering comfort, dignity and kindness when they’re needed most.”
On 11 July, six VODEX team members will take part in the Inflatable 5K in Southampton – the UK’s biggest fun run and inflatable obstacle course event. The fundraising target is £5,000, and the team comments: “We’re committed to raising as much as we can to help the charity continue its vital work and support even more people through challenging times.”
