For fans of Humans Of New York and The Pursuit of Happyness. 'A
big-hearted and world-shaking idea' - Nick Cave 'Turn a common,
everyday act into something potentially transformative.' - Michael
Sheen 'Moving and inspiring' - Johann Hari 'Small acts of love can
make a big impact.' - Morgan Freeman When you're on the fringes of
society, being recognised can mean everything. In 2015, while
working at a London hair salon, Joshua Coombes took to the streets
with his scissors to build relationships with people sleeping rough
in the capital, and began posting transformative images on social
media to amplify their voices. These stories resonated and
thousands of people got involved in their own way. From this,
#DoSomethingForNothing was born - a movement that encourages people
to contribute their skills and time to those who need it. This book
explores themes of love, acceptance, shame and perseverance, while
inviting us to see ourselves in one another and challenge the
negative stigmas surrounding homelessness. Through the simple act
of a haircut, Joshua takes you on a journey into the lives of
people experiencing homelessness in different cities across the
world. Featuring before-and-after photographs, street art and
stories, this book is an inspiring and uplifting account of one
man's experiences with people who have more in common with all of
us than you might imagine. A portion of the proceeds from this book
will be donated to organisations dedicated to assisting unsheltered
people, as well as supporting future not-for-profit art projects.
