Story

My grandpa, James Taylor is doing a sponsored shave in support of Light into Europe. Light into Europe is a registered charity working in Romania with people with hearing and sight difficulties; Breeding and training guide dogs, braille and other tactile teaching aids. Signing, and training to get disadvantaged people accepted into society.

My grandad used to work for Light into Europe, joining in 1992, driving to Romania (and various other different European countries) to take goods to help people with hearing and sight difficulties. He has made many trips to Romania over the last 30 years. These goods included things like braille books, guide-dogs, mattresses for hospitals, and so much more.

He has not had a full shave in over 25 years and is willing to take the beard off for this great charity.

These donations will help the Ukrainian crisis as they work closely with giving aid to those affected.

More information about the charity can be found on their website and Facebook page which is linked here. Light into Europe Website - Light into Europe Facebook.

The shave will be taking place on the 21st of May.
