Staff at George's Hairdressing, of Granby Street, Leicester will visit patients at LOROS hospice, in Groby Road.
The hairdressers will give the patients cut and blow-dry hair treatments, head massages and consultations in exchange for a donation. George's will then give the money back to the Hospice.
Lily Rodd, a patient at LOROS, said: "I really enjoy the beauty treatments provided by George's. These make such a difference to my wellbeing."
The National Audit Office today released a report into the financial sustainability of hospices. LOROS Hospice is calling for this report to mark a turning point in the debate over hospice funding, and urges government to step in to create a more sustainable funding model.
Staff at LOROS Hospice – including nurses on the inpatient ward – swapped their uniforms for pyjamas yesterday, as part of a fundraiser celebrating the launch of a new charity sleepwear range.
40 giant elephants from LOROS Hospice’s Stomp Round Leicester art trail were auctioned off last night, raising a mammoth £286,800 for the charity.
