Local barber brings smiles to Holywell House Care Centre

 

The gentlemen at Holywell House received a lovely visit from Davey Orr, a kind-hearted local barber, recently. Armed with his trusty barber tools, Davey graciously donated his time and expertise, offering haircuts to the residents and we greatly appreciated the kind gesture.

The visit from Davey brought a sense of familiarity and comfort, reminiscent of the days when a trip to the barber was a cherished routine. The simple pleasure of a fresh haircut not only boosts their physical wellbeing but is also great for their self-esteem, promoting a sense of dignity and pride.

Holywell House’s manager Julie McMurrough said: “We are deeply touched by Davey’s thoughtfulness and generosity. His visit has brought joy to our residents, and we truly appreciate the time he took to not only cut their hair but also to engage in meaningful conversations with each of them.”

Davey’s act of kindness reminds us all that each of us has the capacity to make a positive impact on the lives of others in our community. Whether it’s a simple visit, a friendly conversation, or lending a helping hand, these gestures can make a world of difference. As we come together to support and uplift those around us, we strengthen the fabric of our community, making it a place where everyone feels welcome, loved, and cared for.
