A “community-interest” barbershop is launching a new initiative to help families struggling during the cost of living crisis.

When Mojo Fusion opened in Watford's Queen's Road in January, primary school kids were being offered free haircuts during term time.

But with many other barbershops hiking prices as general goods and services become more expensive, chief executive Jomo Oparah is set to offer cheap haircuts to children.

Starting from July 1, all primary and secondary school kids will be offered heavily discounted cuts for just £5.

Anyone wishing to take up on the offer is asked to pre-book.

Mr Oparah said: "It stems from the need to give back to community and not just take,” said Mr Oparah.

“A lot of people were struggling during the pandemic who lost their jobs, you have single families who are struggling to put food on the table.”

The new initiative is part of many Mojo Fusion projects including an upcoming carnival.
