Story

Welcome to my dyeing and shaving fundraiser: Bonetta's Bonehead!

Ever since I was a young preteen - as my friends and family will tell you - I've been very particular about my hair. Dyeing my hair, let alone shaving it, has often been a no-go for me. So, I thought... why not kill two birds with one stone and absolutely wreck my hair for an extremely important charity?

Once this fundraiser has finished, I will be giving my friends free reign over my hair (and beard) with a full array of different hair dye colours. For every £100 raised, I will continue in my everyday life with that hair for one whole day up to a month - attending lectures, work, and even Town and District Council meetings. At the end of that period, I will be reduced to a bonehead through the power of an electric razor!

I am proud to be doing this in support of Young Minds, a UK-wide charity dealing with mental health problems and crises in young people. Young Minds is always there if and when young people, their parents or other relatives and friends need support or advice. They massively supported many young people across Honiton - including many of my closest friends and I - following a very difficult young suicide in 2017. It is so important to me that I give back, and that's what I'm doing today.

Anything you can donate would be massively appreciated - every little helps towards the dyeing and shaving cause!
