TEENAGER Bronwyn Cheshire has raised hundreds of pounds for charity after having her hair – which she had been growing for five years – cut off.

Bronwyn, 16, of Birch Road, Wellington, has so far raised more than £600 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation UK, which makes the dreams of seriously ill children come true. She also gave her hair to the Little Princess Trust to be made into wigs for children with cancer.

Bronwyn has recently left Court Fields School in Wellington before going on to Richard Huish College in Taunton next month.

Anyone who would still like to contribute to Bronwyn’s fundraising should visit the Just Giving page ‘Bronwyn’s Dramatic Haircut for Charity!’ or contact her via email at [email protected]
