A kind-hearted shop manager is ‘baldly’ sporting a new look after having her head shaved for charity. Liz Knights runs the East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) store in Market Place, Dereham. EACH supports families and cares for children and young people with life-threatening conditions and, after setting herself a target of £100, she managed to raise £480. “It went so well and, despite a few nerves beforehand, I found the experience strangely relaxing,” said Liz. “The fundraising went better than I could have ever dreamt and I’m so grateful to everyone – family, friends, customers and volunteers – for their support. “As for the finished product, I really like it and think it might be my new look.” Liz had her head shaved in the shop on Tuesday, 6th June. The shaving was carried out by EACH volunteers Holly Hunt and Warren Knights – Liz’s son. “EACH is such a brilliant charity and one that does so much incredible work right here in our community,” she added. “This was my way of doing something to raise extra funds.” There is still time to sponsor Liz. To show your support, head here. EACH relies on voluntary donations for the majority of its income and, this year alone, needs to raise £7.8 million from its Retail operation, which includes stores across Norfolk and a busy Retail Distribution Centre, in Thetford.
