Haircuts 4 Homeless

I started Haircuts4Homeless by accident in November 2014. I was volunteering at a Salvation Army in Essex, talking to people about addictions as I am 15 years sober myself, and saw the homeless guys coming in for something to eat.
I had recently seen a guy on Facebook doing makeovers on homeless people on the street so thought I’ll bring my scissors to the next session and give some haircuts. Little did I know it would change my life.
I put some pictures on Facebook and soon some hairdressers said they would like to help and some other centres said they would like us to come and now we have 68 projects across the UK & Ireland, 600 volunteers and have given over 40,000 haircuts.
I soon realised that it was much more than a haircut that we were giving. It’s about respect, connection, touch and communication.
