CLOSE SHAVE

Barbers across the country have come together to launch a new mental health initiative. The Lions Barber Collective, a charity which trains barbers to recognise symptoms of mental ill-health in clients, is calling on salons to use the hashtag #OurDoorIsOpen to show their support of men’s mental wellbeing. The charity’s founder, Tom Chapman, lost a close friend to suicide in 2015, and now campaigns for better awareness of the signs of deteriorating mental health.
