In the heart of Greenwich, local barber Jesse Ashiegbu is using his Headlinerz Barbershop UK as a hub for change – not just in hairstyles, but in men’s health.

Jesse is on a mission to support the wellbeing of men in his community, particularly those of African and Caribbean heritage, who are at higher risk of conditions such as high blood pressure and prostate cancer.

By offering free blood pressure checks in the barbershop and starting gentle, informed conversations about physical and mental health, he’s bringing vital healthcare awareness into a trusted, everyday setting.

Once a month, Jesse hosts Thursday Night Jollof – evening sessions where men gather over food to talk openly about everything from mental health to fatherhood. These relaxed, welcoming events create a safe space for honest conversations, with no subject off-limits.

We recently visited Jesse to see his work in action – watch our short film and be inspired by the difference one barber is making in his community.

As we mark Men’s Mental Health Week, Jesse’s work is a powerful reminder of the importance of open, accessible conversations around men’s wellbeing – and the role that trusted community spaces can play in supporting them.

Today is Mental Health Nurses' Day, when we'll be taking extra time to celebrate the kind and caring people who are our mental health nurses.

Meet Leah (centre) - a mental health nurse for 20 years. Coming from a family of nurses, her grandfather was a charge nurse at the Old Bexley Hospital. Leah used to love to hear his stories of how he helped people. He used to say: 'When someone thanks you, it means you've really made a difference.'

Leah says the most rewarding part of her job is meeting and working with some truly amazing people.
