Brighton Hairdresser offers local charity Together Co complimentary appointments to beat loneliness this winter

During the Covid 19 pandemic many people found themselves isolated and alone, without anyone to turn to. Brighton salon owner, Samuel Chapman wants to ensure that nobody ever feels that way and so has opened his doors to loneliness charity Together Co, offering complimentary appointments, a friendly face and a cup of tea to those who would love some company.

Based in Hove, Brighton, Together Co was founded more than twenty years ago to support locals who are lonely by making connections and changing lives for the better. Loneliness can affect us all at one time or another and this people-powered charity works together to connect people, places and ideas and overcome social isolation.


Throughout February, Samuel Chapman will be offering complimentary appointments to the Together Co Befriending scheme members who are looking for a pick-me-up. Every Monday and Tuesday, members will be able to receive a complimentary cut and blow dry, along with a cup of tea and a chat.

Salon owner, Samuel Chapman says “We are delighted to be working with Together Co. It feels amazing to be able to offer those who feel lonely a safe place to come and chat and have a fresh haircut. A trip to the hairdressers can be like visiting a friend and we are so excited to meet lots of new friends through Together Co.”

Together Co’s Befriending scheme creates valuable friendships and improves confidence and self-esteem. Everybody should have somebody – and by connecting members to local businesses such as Samuel’s, members’ feelings of loneliness are put at ease through the simple power of human connection.

Commenting on Samuel’s gesture, Together Co said, “Our scheme members are really touched to be offered this lovely treat at Samuel Chapman Hair Salon. Many are feeling extremely alone after the challenges of the past two years. A chat and a haircut are a lovely way to re-connect and feel cared for.”
