Many families are spending a lot of money to get their children ready for the new school year. To help them, a local barber in England is offering free haircuts and free school supplies to children.
Sid Gumbrell runs Clean Cuts Barber Shop in Guildford, Surrey. He is hosting a special event on Sunday from 09:00 to 17:00. Children who visit the shop can get a free haircut before school starts. They can also pick up free stationery, pencil cases, and water bottles.
Mr. Gumbrell knows that prices are rising and life is expensive for parents right now. Buying school uniforms, shoes, and haircuts can cost a lot of money. He wants to remove one of these expenses to make life easier for families.
The event also aims to bring local children together in a fun way. Other companies, including Tesco and Krispy Kreme, donated items to support the community day.
