Ukraine appeal: Fife women smash fundraising target ten times over with head shave

Elizabeth Adams and Alexa Stewart from Falkland have now raised £5800 for the British Red Cross’ DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal – and the total is still rising.

They took their seats in the window of Elizabeth’s Fayre Earth Shop in Falkland today, and were watched by a crowd of spectators as they had their heads shaved.

As the clippers were wielded a further £260 was added to their total.

Elizabeth said: “We all feel helpless in this situation. Fundraising enables us to show we care.

“We have had a lot of support - so many people were outside the shop watching while we had our heads shaved.”

The duo set an initial target of £500 only to see that smashed as money poured into their online fundraiser.
