TWO sisters had their hair cut for the Little Princess Trust.

Philomena Hall, 11, and Aleesha Newton, 5, had their hair chopped off at Trinity Primary School in Barricombe Drive, Hereford.

Mum Jemma Hall said: "It was Aleesha's idea to have it cut as she saw a programme that had children putting on wigs and she asked why they have no hair.

"I told them it's because they are poorly and they make the wigs out of the real hair and she said she would like her hair cut to help other children.

"Then Philomena said she would like to join in as well."

They have raised just short of £600 for the charity.

Philomena had 15 inches cut off and Aleesha had 14 and a half inches cut off.

The Little Princess Trust in Hereford provides real hair wigs free of charge to boys and girls across the UK and Ireland that have sadly lost their own hair due to cancer treatment and other illnesses.
