Twelve-year-old Castle Manor student Anastasia Dawkins has her hair cut by Paula Roskilly at an assembly at Place Farm Primary School, in front on her two younger sisters who study there

Castle Manor Business and Enterprise College student Anastasia Dawkins, 12, had her hair cut by Paula Roskilly during an assembly at Place Farm Primary School to raise cash for the Motor Neurone Disease Association. She made the effort following her grandfather’s struggle with the condition. Not content with merely raising well over £200, she has also arranged to donate the hair that has been removed to the Little Princesses Trust, which uses the hair donated to make wigs for children who have lost hair through illness. Anastasia had her hair cut in front of the entire school during their celebration assembly, but most special to her was the presence of her grandfather, who inspired the effort, her grandmother, her mother and two sisters – Ellen, 11, and Heather, six, both students at Place Farm. Anybody who would like to make donations to either of the charities can do so directly or by contacting the office at place Farm Primary School. For all the latest news see Thursday’s (May 24) Echo.
