Hello Everyone!
I cannot believe I am actually celebrating 10 years to the day that I opened The Rawdon Barber Shop!
I was so full of excitement at opening my first ever business, and I had an unwavering knowledge that this was going to be a good move in life. That proved to be correct.
Many of you have followed me from shop to shop over the years, and sometimes I went to your homes to cut hair when I was inbetween shops. Many faces have come and gone over the 10 years, which is the natural ebb and flow of life...customers move away to be nearer family, new families move back into the area.
I want to take this opportunity to thank ALL of you for being so wonderful over the decade I have had in the shop so far. It truly never feels like 'work'. I have some right belly laughs in the shop on a daily basis, and I have shed a tear with many of you when your lives or families lives have taken a turn for the worst. We share recommendations for films/ tv shows/ restaurants/books. We share gardening tips and share photos of pets/ plants/ holiday destinations... I have watched some of you turn from wee boys into adults heading off to University, single guys getting married and then having stag do's/weddings/ children.... many of you becoming grandparents and celebrating big wedding anniversaries 25/40/50/60ths....a few of you superstars celebrate birthdays well into your 90's... I absolutely LOVE sharing all of this with you. I hope you have loved the adventures of Jonathan and I too! ( wedding/cruises/abseiling off Elland Road/Edinburgh marathon...to name a few!)
My very first customer 10 years ago was Elliott- 6 years old. I'm so proud to say that he is still a regular customer in the shop! Elliott is a very accomplished athlete and trains and competes with Team GB in Trampolining.
So…thank you for the best decade of my working life ever! I hope you will remain with us for many more years to come! Rawdon is such a brilliant place with great community. I know many of you travel to us from other towns...that it also very much appreciated by me.
I also want to give a massive big THANKS to Phil, who has been working alongside me for 9 of the 10 years. I honestly couldn't of done it without him. He is the most trustworthy, reliable, funny workmate I could ever of hoped to have worked alongside. A few barbers have come and gone over the 10 years...but I am forever grateful to Phil for being the one constant component.I hope to work beside him for many years to come. Thanks Phil.

I know many of you will be heading off on your summer holidays soon, as am I!
I will NOT be working the week commencing MONDAY THE 10TH OF AUGUST. I will be back in the shop as of TUESDAY THE 18TH AUGUST. If you need a holiday haircut I advise you to get it booked asap, as the week before I go away will be very busy and the week I return will be very busy also.
Phil will still be in the shop but as you can imagine- he will be extremely busy too!
So this is your advance warning to be organised and NOT LEAVE IT TOO LATE! hehe!
See you all soon!

Well it’s a small world!….within seconds of meeting Professor Hooper at the neuroscience labs at Manchester Uni- I realised I knew him and used to cut his hair when he lived in Leeds!!😆…it was about 14 years ago!
His team is funded by Alzheimer’s Research UK and after his amazing talk on the work they are currently doing - we had a tour of 2 labs by 2 members of his research team. We had been split into smaller groups to visit the labs.
We were actually specifically told by him that we weren’t to repeat the finer details of what we had been told today ( not sure why…) but we could tell people the “gist” of what we saw/ heard. It felt quite a privilege to see what the money that you all helped raise - goes towards.
It’s amazing to think that behind the scenes- day after day - away from the bright colours of the charities - these scientists are working tirelessly to make advancements in the treatment and hopefully eradication of Alzheimer’s in the future. It was a very inspiring morning.
So for the very last time- THANK YOU from both of us for the money you helped us raise towards this wonderful research. It was an honour to be allowed into the labs to see what your donations are going towards
THANK YOU!
F&J 🧡
(The scientist in the blue lab coat (gawd I’ve forgotten her name 🤦🏻♀️) is doing stem cell research and how this can help them replicate Alzheimer’s in brain cells and subsequently stall the progression. )

Hello Everyone!
Jonathan and I would like to thank all of you that donated to our fundraising marathon!
The final total was £4310 in donations and the gift aid that the government adds to the this- brings the entire money raised for Alzheimers Research UK to a staggering £5291!! NEVER did we imagine this would be our total!
I'm trying to thank you all individually in the shop- but for those donors who were anonymous or those that only had a first name (so I'm not quite sure which of you it was) please accept our thanks for your kind words and donations.
At the end of this month we are going to the Neuroscience Dept. at Manchester University- for a tour of the lab that Alzheimers Research UK run...to be shown how the money they get as a charity is being spent, and the new developments they are discovering in the treatment of this awful disease. I shall report back after our tour!
Again, thank you for your help in reaching this absolutely amazing total!

Well that’s me done a marathon! 😃…the heat was brutal! Even by my standards! Our friends came up to support us and they were tracking the heat and at midday it was showing 27 degrees ….I finished in 5.52.28.
I’m very proud of myself 😃. 👟👟🏅
Thanks again for all of your support. It’s much appreciated from us both! ❤️
