For over three decades, we have been helping to fight breast cancer. The first time was when Susan contracted the disease in 1992, just 6 months after introducing Jessica to the UK market. Since then Susan’s sister, daughter and daughter-in-law have all bravely fought through their own battles with breast cancer.
Though there is plenty of amazing support for sufferers, survivors and their families – 2 of the charities Gerrard International have chosen to support are Breast Cancer Care and Future Dreams.
To date Gerrard International has donated over £15,000 to Future Dreams from Mii Cosmetics product sales.
“We at Future Dreams want to take a moment to thank you for your unwavering support. Together, we’ve achieved incredible milestones in providing support, raising awareness, and funding research for those affected by breast cancer.”

The Susan Gerrard Beauty Academy is proud to have hosted various inspiring events including makeup workshops for those living with and beyond cancer and the HBSA wig makers association.

Since the loss of Susan’s beloved husband Ian Gerrard in 2023, we also now actively support The Pancreatic Cancer Charity through Head Office fundraising initiatives.
In addition to our work with those affected by cancer we strive to create meaningful changes for women and families in need. We are proud to support charities such as Young Minds, Refuge, Choose Love and In Kind, to help the amazing work they do.
In 2024 we donated over £22,000 worth of product to charitable organisations, helping women in need to feel beautiful and uplifted.
