Pete is going to shave his head to raise vital funds for Helen & Douglas House Hospice which supports children and families in Milton Keynes and surrounding areas.

Due to lockdown and the continued closure of barbers and hairdressers, like others all across the country Pete hasn’t had a haircut since January! He has now pledged that if he can raise £1500 for Helen & Douglas House Children’s Hospice he will get the clippers out for charity.

Helen & Douglas House, based in Oxford, provides specialist palliative and end of life care to children , including children from Milton Keynes. They care for children and young people up to the age of 18 at both their Hospice and through their outreach service and are reliant on fundraising to continue to provide their vital services and support. 

Pete is a trustee of the charity after his daughter died there 6 months ago.

Like most other charities, Helen & Douglas House’s income from fundraising has been heavily hit by the Covid-19 crisis and the restrictions on gatherings and cancellation of community and fundraising events.
