Haircuts 4 Homeless / Peterborough

May was our busiest month of the year so far with just 3 of the team welcoming close to 50 guests. Alongside some incredibly hard stories, there were also moments of warmth, laughter, and connection.

I love this picture… a genuinely happy shared moment, chatting about Claire’s cakes and a haircut. Sometimes it’s the simplest conversations that mean the most.🖤

April was another busy session, with over 35 guests enjoying fresh looks, treats for visiting dogs, and complete makeovers!

A huge thank you to the wonderful Mandy’s for helping everything run so smoothly 😝, and to our five amazing volunteers for giving their time and energy.

We’re also incredibly grateful to everyone who donated items or contributed money so we could purchase toiletries — your generosity makes such a difference

An unbelievable statistic but “EVERY
12 MINUTES A FAMILY IN ENGLAND BECOMES HOMELESS” which is why we are seeing more families at our Haircuts4Homeless projects

It’s challenging enough for people at the moment with everything going on in the world but imagine loosing the roof over your head
🖤
Our Haircuts4Homeless service can bring some relief with some pampering, an ear to listen and touch to connect

Haircuts4Homeless, so much more than just a haircut

It may have been cold outside in Peterborough, but the kindness, laughter, and community spirit at Outlinks were powerful 🖤
Proud to stand with Haircuts4Homeless because it’s never just about the haircut.
It’s about dignity, connection, and respect.
