Schoolgirls have heads shaved to raise money for children with cancer
Lilia Dunn, Holly Holdsworth and Lola Rodericks, who are all 12, are raising money for Bethany’s Wish, and to date have raised £2,000.
The friends donated their hair to the Little Princess Trust, the charity that provides free wigs for children who’ve lost their hair because they are undergoing chemotherapy.

Lola decided to take on the challenge in memory of a close friend who died from cancer on Lola’s 9th birthday.
She said: “It was obviously very upsetting and when something like that happens to you it brings home the reality of those statistics you always hear on the news.”
Lilia says she was inspired to get her locks shorn by the death of her grandmother from cancer when she was just three.
