The Big Chop: Jonathan’s Charity Haircut!✂️

Eakin Healthcare Comber is raising money for Lagan search and rescue

Donation of hair · 29 November 2025

Belfast's only dedicated, award-winning, independent lifeboat and acute water rescue service. Our volunteers give their time freely to provide the independent Lifeboat service and quayside response for the seaward side of the River Lagan.

Story

Jonathan is taking on a big challenge. He’s cutting off his hair to raise money for Lagan Search and Rescue, Eakin Healthcare’s Charity of the Year.

After years of growing it out, Jonathan promised his nieces that he would bravely chop it all off for charity, and he’s keeping his word. It’s not just a haircut; it’s a promise, a gesture of kindness, and a chance to make a real difference.

💬 A Few Words from Jonathan

“I promised my nieces I was going to donate my hair, but then I got to like it and accidentally forgot. So it's time to deliver on the promise in aid of Lagan Search and Rescue. After learning to windsurf in the summer, to have the support of such a dedicated group of volunteers, you know you'll be looked after if things go wrong.”

— Jonathan

💖 Why He’s Doing It

This all started when Jonathan’s niece challenged him to cut his hair and do something good with it. He agreed, and now he’s turning that promise into a fundraiser to support the dedicated volunteers of Lagan Search and Rescue.

🎯 The Goal

We’re aiming to raise £500 for Lagan Search and Rescue. Every pound helps keep this vital service running, from maintaining their boats and rescue gear to supporting the training of volunteer crews.

Whether you donate or share this page, your support means everything.

📅 The Big Chop

The big moment will take place on Saturday 29th November 2025. We’ll share before and after photos so everyone can see the transformation.

🙏 Thank You

Their incredible team of volunteers provide search, rescue, and recovery services on the River Lagan and beyond, helping to keep our local community safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
