Obvs Skincare’s family fun day raises over £1,500 for Brain Tumour Research and The Sophie Barringer Trust 

Local organic skincare brand Obvs Skincare hosted a family fun day fundraiser at the Concorde Club, raising over £1,500 for The Sophie Barringer Trust and Brain Tumour Research. The event, organised by Obvs Skincare Founder, Sian Louise, was a huge success, with over 600 people attending to support vital causes while celebrating the launch of the brand’s new Organic Scalp Oil.   

The new product has a deeply personal story. Maddison, Obvs Skincare’s lab assistant, played a key role in formulating the oil while recovering from chemotherapy after being diagnosed with a brain tumour at just 23 years old. Created under Sian’s guidance and following Soil Association COSMOS organic standards, the oil supports scalp and hair health—something Maddison experienced firsthand during her recovery. 

The event also saw support from Southampton FC legends James Beattie, Mark Dennis, and David Hughes, who attended to back the fundraiser and its important mission.

Speaking about the event, Sian Louise said: “This fundraiser was more than just a celebration—it was about raising awareness and funding for critical research. Maddison’s story is a testament to resilience, and we’re proud to support both Brain Tumour Research and The Sophie Barringer Trust while launching a product that came from such a personal journey.” 

With over 600 attendees, the event was a fantastic community effort, bringing people together to raise funds and awareness. All proceeds will go towards funding research and supporting those affected by brain tumours.
