'It costs nothing and you get your basics - the foodbanks are struggling.'
'What happens at the barbershop, stays at the barbershop' is what the sign in Frankie's Barbershop in East Belfast says.
"I was watching a documentary about Jamie Oliver doing a thing about these community fridges in the South End and I thought, Jesus, I could benefit really well with that, unbelievable," he said. He and Molly, the friendly barbershop dog, are on hand to welcome anyone through the doors, whether they need a haircut, a chat or some help.
He said he has had positive discussions with those involved with the new community centre coming to East Belfast, about installing a bigger community fridge there."I used to benefit massively from a foodbank, I used to cycle my bike down, fill my bag and cycle back from Dundonald to here when I first came back, that's how bad it was.
