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

“She came to me and said that her head was feeling hot and asked if she could cut her hair for charity.

People had been colouring their hair and taking part in activities for charity.

“One of her friends who is at a different school said she had completed a walk and Lilly asked if she could raise money by shaving her hair.

“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.”
