BEYOND THE FADE

Beyond the Fade is a new community-led initiative in collaboration with Capella Chaplaincy designed specifically for Black barbers and barbershop owners in Birmingham. Recognising the vital role barbershops play as cultural and social hubs within the Black community, this programme creates a safe, supportive space for barbers to come together and openly discuss their mental health needs.

Through a series of facilitated group sessions, workshops, and conversations, Beyond the Fade aims to break down stigma around mental health, provide access to culturally relevant resources, and empower participants with tools for emotional well-being.

By centring the voices and experiences of Black barbers, Beyond the Fade is not just about mental health—it’s about community healing, resilience, and redefining care in a space that has always been more than just a place for a haircut.

Beyond The Fade - 12th May 2025We know that when Black men go to see their barber, sometimes it’s more than a haircut—it’s real talk about the ups and downs of life!
