Why would Roddy shave half his beard straight down the middle of his face… and then live with it for a whole week — meeting clients, friends and complete strangers with only half a clean shaved face?

To raise funds for Cultura Contra Balas, a beautiful local charity supporting young people directly affected by the war in Ukraine.

✂️ The Half-Beard Shave will take place on

Saturday, January 10th

at Calle Convent 3, Jesús Pobre

All of this happens during a very special live musical event, where 13 incredibly talented young musicians from Ukraine will perform.

The talent is incredible

The music is beautiful

The shave is hilarious

Please come along, support these gifted young performers, and enjoy a good-natured giggle. Everyone welcome!

Come for the music.

Stay for the shave.

Leave knowing you’ve supported something really special.

We are Cultura Contra Balas, an NGO dedicated to the psychological recovery of war victims. Since the beginning of the war, we have organized 11 rehabilitation camps for women, doctors, and children affected by the war. In total, we have helped 374 persons.

In February and March of 2025, we will welcome two groups of 34 ukrainian women each to our rehabilitation camp in Jávea, Alicante.

Our camps provide a safe and supportive environment for participants to heal and acquire tools to manage trauma, thanks to the guidance of professional volunteer psychologists.

How can you help?

Your donations will directly contribute to covering the costs of food for participants.

We are committed to transparency and will provide regular updates on how the funds are used and the progress of the camp. If you’d like, you are welcome to visit us in person and meet the participants.
