Charlie Bullion of St Peter and St Paul C of E Primary school in Burgh Le Marsh decided he wanted to do something to help other people at the start of the forst Covid-19 lockdown.

"At that time contact with his friends and family was restricted, so he decided he would grow his hair, and then have it shaved off to raise money for charity,” said mum Tania.

“He has stuck to his decision and has allowed his hair to grow ever since.”

Charlie set up a JustGiving page with a target of £300 but by July 2 he had exceeded £500. By the time he had his hair shaved, he had raised nearly £900.

He chose two charities to support which are special to him and who will receive equal amounts.

Another is BANA (British Acoustic Neuroma Association) in support of his nanny who suffers from this condition.

The hair itself which was plaited into two pony tails, will be donated to the Little Princess Trust charity, who make wigs for children with cancer.

“We are all extremely proud of what Charlie set out to achieve for others,” said Tania.

“His original total was to raise £300 so he has done amazing.

"He will continue to go far in life I'm sure.”
