My story

After nearly 5 and a half years, I have decided to get the chop.  My darling dreads and I will be parting ways on July 14th and I want to make this traumatic experience count.

As many of you know, I love Bulgaria - and the Trussell Trust does fantastic work in this beautiful country teaching orphanage leavers the skills they need for independent living.  

Every year Trussell Trust runs a summer camp taking abandoned children to the Black Sea coast, away from begging on the streets.

It costs £10 per day to send a child on summer camp. So far we have raised enough to send 7 children on this life-changing experience... let's make it 10! Please help me raise £1000!

With the daunting prospect of looking like an egg, and having a cold head... I would really appreciate your support and encouragement to make this scary event as worthwhile as possible.

Thank you for supporting the work of the Trussell Trust. xx
