Caerphilly hairdresser Angela Tamlin will be offering free haircuts to the homeless from her salon on Western Industrial Estate.

Hair 16 will be accepting walk-in appointments from 11am until 6pm on Saturday December 16, something Ms Tamlin hopes to do every year from now on.

Speaking to Caerphilly Observer, she said: “I’ve spoken to the council and Caerphilly Miners’ Centre, who are spreading the word. I’ve also put it out there on social media.

“I just think it’s a nice thing to do for the community and I hope to see lots of people come along. We’ll also be offering a hot drink and a mince pie.”
