Story
Hey! I am Bridget and I am shaving my hair off..... yep.
I am doing it to raise money for Chance UK where I am in the process of becoming a mentor for children between the age of 5-11. Chance UK uses a solution-focused approach to grow a child’s strengths, build their self-esteem, and find positive alternatives to their challenging behaviour that could otherwise result in anti-social or criminal offending in later life. Chance UK believes in children, no matter the difficulties they have and adversity they face and aims to empower them to reach their potential and have a better future.
Please donate to enable Chance UK to continue helping some of the UK’s most vulnerable children and their families. It is an amazing organisation and it makes such an important impact on the children's lives.
Also, I researched the other day that its going to take two years to grow my hair back to shoulder length. That is a long time! Please make my going full egg worth while!
Here is a bit more about the charity.....
