Three sisters are having their locks cut off to make wigs for children with cancer and to also raise money for our Billy Lee Stand on My Own Two Feet charity.
The trio are having their waist length hair trimmed back to short bobs and within just a week of making the decision the girls have already raised £550.
The Williams sisters of Shannon, 11, Ellie-Shae, nine, and Kacey, six, will be having their hair cut next month and are already excited about the idea.
Their mum Sherie said: “My niece had her hair cut for the Little Princess charity so the girls knew about it. Their hair is so long but they are all happy to go ahead. They insist they all want to do it.
“They usually only have a short trim so this will be quite a big thing for them. They are going to suddenly look very grown up. I’m so proud of them for offering to do this for other people.”
The big hair cut day for the Nene Infants and Ramonth Junior pupils will be next month at Reflections hairdressers.
Anybody wishing to help can drop donations into the salon in Norwich Road.
