A FORCES charity is getting a cut of a barber’s profits thanks to a week-long fundraising drive.
Joanna Robertson, the owner of Majors Barber Shop on Brinkburn Road, is donating £1 to Help for Heroes for every haircut carried out at the salon this week.
Miss Robertson, who has owned the shop for nine years, says she was inspired to raise money for the charity in honour of her many customers who are serving in the Army.
She said: “We try and do something for one charity every year, and we went for Help for Heroes this time because we’ve got to know a lot of the young lads in the Army who come in for their haircuts.”
The £1 charity initiative started at the weekend and will run until this Saturday, April 6.
