Story

Alternative Barbering Co. Partners with Youth Talk 💙

Fundraising is off to a flying start...

The Blindfolded Haircut for Youth Talk!

In celebration of this new partnership and the masterly skills of all their barbers, Youth Talk’s Jim Lewis agreed to help kick off Alternative Barbering Co.'s fundraising efforts by having his haircut whilst Glenn the barber was blindfolded.

At my age, you stop worrying about how your hair looks, so naturally I agreed to a free haircut done by a blindfolded barber!

We smashed our £200 target. Thank you from #TeamYouthTalk

Three Peaks Challenge

On July 29th these determined barbers are climbing the UK’s 3 biggest peaks - Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon - within 24 hours, all in support of Youth Talk.

There target is £1,000 which would help provide 20 free and confidential counselling sessions. Adding that to our £200 haircut target makes the grand target £1,200, which would help fund one young person through the average length of their counselling. 💙

This team are truly going above and beyond to raise money for the young people we support. Please show your support for their hard work and donate to their JustGiving page to help transform young lives.
