Eliza (6) Has Long Locks Cut For Charity

Monday, 8 August 2022 14:42

A six-year old girl has had her 31 inch hair cut into a bob to raise money for Age Concern Jersey.

Eliza Millen decided to do it after being told that her sister raised over £1,500 for Age Concern back in 2015.

Like her sister Alice, Eliza's cut hair will be donated to the Little Princess Trust.

The trust makes real hair wigs for children and young people who have lost their own hair through cancer treatment and other conditions.

The big cut arrived this morning (8 August).

Eliza and her family have been out and about to raise money ahead of the cut, which included bucket shaking in St Helier.

She has raised more than £3,000 so far. You can donate here.
