Young samba band leader Lucy Woolcock is making a double donation to charity on Saturday (22 October), with her hair raising funds for a good cause.
Lucy’s treasured tresses are to be lopped off to raise funds for Meningitis Now – and her lovely lost locks will be donated to the Little Princess Trust, which makes wigs for child cancer sufferers.
Lucy, aged 26, has been a member of Exeter-based community samba band Street Heat for five years. The band has over 50 members of all ages and Lucy and was recently voted its joint music co-ordinator.
John Lewis are holding a summer event on Thursday at their Exeter store between 6pm and 8pm.
The theme is Summer Solstic and there will be a samba band playing, fruit punch for customers plus hints and tips on tanning and advice on summer tends and lots more.
