CARING Ella Mace, nine, from Lower Westford, Wellington, has had her beautiful long blonde hair cut in aid of the Little Princess Trust.

Ella set out to raise £250 and did so by being sponsored to have her hair cut and by making and selling charm keyrings.

She loves her new short style but plans to grow it again and then have it cut and give it to the charity, which provides wigs and hair pieces for children who suffer hair loss due to cancer treatment.
