A POOLE woman has taken the brave decision to have her head shaved to raise money for the NSPCC.

Marie Shutt, who lives in Canford Heath, hopes to raise £1,000 for the children’s charity and had her head shaved at Joanne Hairdressing on Saturday March 31.

She said: “I have been growing my hair for a while now and a lot of people have said it looks much better.

“So I decided now would be the time to have it shaved off to raise as much money as possible for this worthwhile cause,” she added.

Donations for her head shave should be sent direct to the charity at 3rd Floor, Ciba Building, 146 Hagley Road, Birmingham, B16 9NP or call 0844 8920217 quoting reference Marie Shave.
