A BARBER is offering free haircuts and shaves to cancer patients in a bid to help them feel better.
Tony Batty, of Tony’s Barbers on Racecommon Road, will start the service after the new year on his days off and occasionally on an evening and at weekends.
Tony, 50, of Derby Street, Barnsley, said he had been inspired by the sponsored shave of a man in the hospice earlier this year, and one of his clients who is brought in by his relatives.
Tony has said he will visit people in their homes, at Barnsley Hospital and Barnsley Hospice.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
