Haircuts4Homeless Christmas campaign

We’ve received a delightful holiday message that Danish e-bike brand MATE. has made charity Haircuts4Homeless (H4H) the star of its 2022 Christmas campaign. Take a look here:

Volunteer barber Tom Forde from Manifesto features in the short, poignant campaign film as one of the H4H team who volunteers their time to commute to areas where the homeless live to interact with the community and give a much-needed self-esteem boost of a fresh cut.

Haircuts4Homeless Christmas gift

MATE. has donated four e-bikes to H4H to empower the good deeds of its barbers to reach further. Simon Jones-Mortenseen, creative director at MATE says: “It takes a lot to go into areas where the homeless live and to approach them. They can be dealing with having a difficult day or having mental health issues, so it is impressive to see how the team at H4H connects and puts people at ease. It warms our heart to know that our bikes will be used to bring joy and spread the cheer.”

Founder of H4H, Stewart Roberts MBE adds: “I have been blown away by MATE’s integrity. It has been a pleasure working with them from the very beginning and joyous to help them with their campaign which highlights the work that we do. The donation will be very well received by our team of volunteers who strive to support the charities ever-growing needs. Thankyou.”

Help yourself

More than ever, we must look to the problem of helping the homeless – the pressures of cost of living in 2023 threaten to make many more at risk of being without a permanent, safe home. To help, please consider:
• volunteering with H4H at a pop-up salon.. theres a huge network around the country.. one shift every 6 weeks is plenty to make a difference
• sign your salon up to the H4H ambassador scheme and share awareness as well as raising funds
• buy the Hear Me See Me book following the work of H4H… its incredible.

Find out how to do them all HERE.
