Do Something for Nothing
How it began
In 2015, while working at a London hair salon, Joshua Coombes took to the streets with his scissors to build relationships and offer haircuts to men and women experiencing homelessness in the capital.
Joshua began posting transformative images on social media to amplify the voices of those he met. The stories that accompanied these photos resonated, and others began to get involved in their own way. #DoSomethingForNothing was born — a movement that encourages people to connect their skills and time to those who need them.
This mission caught the attention of media outlets in Europe and has rippled worldwide. Coverage includes appearing in National Geographic’s new series The Story of Us with Morgan Freeman, released on Netflix internationally. Today, Coombes continues his efforts, working on the streets in new countries, humanising the issue of homelessness globally, including fundraisers to help individuals that he meets.
