Mr Yaquob said: ‘God has gifted me this talent to cut people’s hair, so it’s only right I pay it back into society for people who are in need of it.

‘It makes me feel very happy when I provide people with a free haircut.

‘Homeless people are not different to any of us – they all have their stories, but they have no family or friends who care for them.

‘It must be a very lonely life, so if my haircuts are able to brighten their day and give them a better feeling, then that’s great.
