How’s everyone enjoying the bank holiday weekend?
We’ve spent today giving our back garden a makeover — huge thanks to my parents for helping us get it kitted out! Still a few jobs to do, but that’s a task for tomorrow.

A massive shoutout to one of our amazing supporters — your parcel of drawstring bags and deodorants has arrived and is perfect for getting our next batch of hygiene kits ready!

I’m hoping to confirm our next date at North Down YMCA this week so they can start booking clients in for haircuts. I also plan to start a monthly drop of haircut vouchers to the Newtownards food bank — we’ve allocated 32 from April. Each voucher includes a unique code so I can track usage over a 3-month period and reissue any unused ones to others in need. It’s spreadsheets galore in this house — good job I’ve always liked maths and a bit of IT!

We’re heading into May with a clean slate and zero haircuts left to hand out — but with a busy diary, we’ll soon be stocked up again.
