A hairdressing salon in Witney is helping an Oxford-based charity by commissioning a Christmas card.

Mark Creed and Miquette Jobson check a proof of the card

Mark Creed, the owner of Philosophy, in High Street, asked the charity Art Room, based at Oxford School, in the city's Glanville Road, to design the card.

The charity, set up by teacher and artist Julie Beattie, helps pupils who are at risk of expulsion.

Mr Creed said: "We thought if the children could see their work in print it would boost their self-esteem. We've ordered 500 which we'll be sending out."
