Carly braves the cut for charity
Carly braves the cut for charity
Recently Carly Finch, who works as a Quality and Regulation Manager in the Barchester North Division, took a very brave decision.
Carly decided to have 13 inches of her hair cut off and donate it to the Little Princess Trust, who will make a wig from it for a child going through cancer treatment. Carly also opted to fundraise for us at the same time.
Carly now has a chic new hair style, raised £300 for older and disabled people, and has given hair & hope to a child. What a wonderful and inspiring thing to do!
