THIS CHRISTMAS season, Gary Barnes is lighting up the Wyre Forest with his dazzling glitter beard in an effort to raise cash for KEMP Hospice.
Challenged by Cassie Bennett, Gary accepted and is now donning the sparkliest of festive accessories for a great cause.
Like hospices across the UK, KEMP depends on donations to provide specialist care for patients and families facing life-limiting illnesses and bereavement.
The glitter beard campaign has surpassed its initial target of £400, with £405 raised so far.
