Nightingale Macmillan Unit Equipment Drive (March Only)

(£715/£1000 - 25/03/24)

As most of you are aware, a very good friend of mine has recently passed away in the Nightingale Macmiilan Unit at the hospital. Firstly I’d like to apologise for all the cancellations over the past six weeks and would like to thank you all for the lovely messages!

After spending so long on the ward I got to meet some incredible people including a lady called Sue who is wards hairdresser as well as a nurse. I’d noticed Sue had to bring in equipment to cut patients hair as the wards equipment is inadequate and she couldn’t cut a patient’s hair there and then and one thing I’d learnt on the ward that tomorrow can’t be promised! So as a barbershop we need to come together and raise £1000 minimum to obtain the best quality hair equipment/gowns/products and deliver it to the ward no later than 02/04/2024.

Haircut prices are going up £10 for the month of March only. I will be updating this space daily with how much we have raised. There are also donation buttons located in the online store.

I’ve spoken to quite a few customers about this idea and everyone is on board. I know it’s a lot of money however we will be sorting out our palative care ward in our local community and this equipment will last the ward for years!

Any left over money will be providing coffee for the families (can’t be having Nescafé!) Costa do instant coffee for £6, I will attempt to get it cheaper, but we will pay for a week/months worth by buying 10 pots of coffee and the rest of the money will be used to pay for ice cream from Blue Bell farm. They supply the ward and the ward regularly runs out. This is all some people can eat so let’s get the rest of the money to them to add on to wards order.

Thank you so so much for helping supply the Macmillan ward with the best hair equipment you can buy as this may be some people’s last hair cut, the thought of us all rallying together to sort this small issue out is very inspiring.

See you very soon!!
