Haircutting service for the homeless service relaunched by lottery winners

A haircutting service for the homeless has been relaunched in the UK nine years after it was originally thought up by Stewart Roberts MBE. The former Salvation Army volunteer brought his scissors to a session and Haircuts4Homeless was born.

Since then, Stewart's service has opened more than 70 projects across the UK and Ireland, recruited 600 volunteers and given more than 50,000 free haircuts. The service was put on hold in Wales due to the pandemic.

But now thanks to some kindhearted lottery winners, it's back. Richard Davies was a full-time hairdresser who won £1million on the Euromillions in 2018 with wife Faye.
