Kingshurst councillor's hair-raising challenge for charity

A COUNCILLOR last week agreed to have a rather drastic haircut in support of two local charities.
Coun Debbie Evans (UKIP, Kingshurst & Fordbridge) underwent the head shave at the Seeds of Hope Community Hub, at St Barnabus Church.
Proceeds from the event will be shared between the project - which supports outreach work around the local area - and the Marie Curie charity.
Coun Evans said: "I have been mulling over the idea of doing a head shave for charity for some time and last year it was a sponsored slim so this year was the year to brave the shave!"
Jean Johnson, who is the project coordinator of Seeds of Hope, said: "It is fantastic for people to be doing things like this to support our project and the valuable work of vital charities such as Marie Curie."
The fundraising event took place at Seeds of Hope on Friday and coincided with the monthly big lunch.
