New free hairdressing and barber service for Hart Foodbank clients

13th June 2025

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of a brand-new free hairdressing and barber service for Hart Foodbank clients, starting Monday, 16th June at Fleet Baptist Church.

A few months ago, we asked our clients what extra support would make a difference-and access to haircuts was one of the most requested services. We listened, and now we’re delighted to bring this idea to life!

Thanks to the support of Marianne’s Hair Salon, Basingstoke, this service will offer both hairdressing and barber appointments, completely free of charge to those who use our foodbank. Each appointment is 30 minutes long, and we can accommodate up to eight clients per session.

Service dates and locations:

  • Fleet Baptist Church – 16 June, 15 September, 15 December – 1:00pm – 3:00pm
  • Life Church, Hook – 14 July, 13 October – 11:00am – 1:00pm
  • St Barnabas Church, Darby Green – 11 August, 10 November – 1:00pm – 3:00pm

Booking is essential – clients can book their appointment via a link sent to them in an email.

This service is more than just a haircut. It’s about dignity, wellbeing, and confidence-because everyone deserves to feel their best.

Stay tuned for photos and stories from the first sessions, and thank you to everyone helping make this new service possible!
