Causes

In June 2013 the Bath Academy of Media Makeup and Peter Swords King teamed up with The Body Shop to launch the "BAMM Recreate Competition" to search for up and coming talent in makeup artistry. The competition will raise awareness for the Teenage Cancer Trust (TCT) and generate funding that will be used to help build the first specialist cancer unit for young people in the South West of England.[12][13][14]
