Calma Reflexology was delighted to take part in Citroen Manchester's 20th Anniversary charity event on 5th June to help raise money for Christies.

The evening was a great success and included a fashion show compered by the one and only Stuart Hall of 'It's a Knockout' fame.

Thanks to everyone who supported the event and congratulations to all involved at Citroen Manchester.
