Ahead of the event her mum Jessica said: “The head shave was all Lilly’s idea.

“I said yes and we decided to support the Hinge Centre with the hair cut.
“We then made the decision to do it during the holidays. We would like to thank everyone who has supported Lilly.”
Jessica added after the shave: “Lilly is feeling very happy and proud of herself for raising money for the Hinge Centre, which has helped family and friends over the past eight years.”
