The Swiss Church London is organising regular haircuts for the homeless community. Alongside the free haircut, we provide the homeless with care packages including daily essentials as well as a weekly breakfast in our beautiful building with the opportunity to chat or relax.

Situation
Homelessness in London is on the rise, and especially the homeless community has been left isolated during the pandemic. The Swiss Church has been reaching out to the homeless community in London for years through diverse activities, offering a safe place for homeless people to get a haircut, food, meet other people, or just relax in a calm space.
Solution
Every month, Jake Fox, stylist at Ena Hair Salon (and also responsible for the vicar’s haircut) comes in to give homeless people a free haircut. Before the pandemic, we organised a weekly "breakfast on the steps", where homeless people could come in for a breakfast, meet new people, or just find a place of calm to enjoy a meal. Until we are able to re-open larger events, we offer to the homeless a care package with daily essentials to improve their wellbeing.
