Janet's Hair Salon, a beloved local business in Ledbury, is organising a heartfelt coffee morning fundraiser on 8 November to support St Michael’s Hospice. The event is being held in memory of longtime owner Janet Jones, who was a respected figure in the community and passed away after receiving care from the hospice. The salon is inviting customers, neighbours, and friends to come together, raise funds, and honour Janet's legacy through a meaningful cause.
Fundraising for a Cause Close to Home
As a cherished part of Ledbury’s high street, Janet's Hair Salon has always valued its ties to the community. Now, under new management following Janet's passing, the salon is rallying support to give back to the hospice that cared for her in her final days. St Michael’s Hospice, based in Herefordshire, provides compassionate palliative care services to those with life-limiting illnesses. Janet spent her final days under their attentive care, prompting the salon to organise this local fundraising initiative.
The fundraising coffee morning aims to raise awareness and funds for the hospice through voluntary donations, coffee and cake sales, and a raffle of prizes donated by local businesses. All proceeds will benefit St Michael’s Hospice to support the ongoing compassionate work they provide within the region.
How the Community Can Get Involved
The success of the fundraiser depends on the generosity and participation of the local community. Everyone is welcome to attend the coffee morning, with planned activities to engage attendees, share memories of Janet, and contribute to a deeply personal cause. The event offers an opportunity to reflect on the impact Janet had on the town and support a hospice that touches so many families’ lives.

Why Supporting Local Charities Matters
Small, community-driven events like this are vital for the ongoing success of local charities. They not only raise much-needed funds but also strengthen community cohesion. By holding this tribute event, Janet’s Hair Salon honours an individual life while supporting an organisation that ensures dignity and comfort for others in their final stages. It's also a reminder of the power of small businesses to create lasting social impact beyond their daily services.
The salon hopes the event becomes an annual fixture to continue Janet’s legacy and maintain strong support for St Michael’s Hospice. Community members unable to attend can still contribute through in-salon donation tins or the hospice’s website.
