Josh Coombes is a hairdresser, community hero and movement maker. In 2015, he started reaching out to the homeless in his city, offering them free haircuts and showcasing the results using the hashtag #DoSomethingForNothing. He passionately believes in giving dignity to the homeless and how pushing past stereotypes and preconceptions allows us to find real connections with people. This DoSomething movement was born from the idea that we can all do something for someone — for nothing.
Today, Josh travels to new countries to tell the stories of those who feel unheard. After several years of building a social movement, Do Something For Nothing, Joshua provides a fresh perspective on how we approach charity and volunteering our time. Through personal experiences and stories, he demonstrates why a commitment to a bigger mission benefits everybody.
