TWO Stevenston schoolgirls will be braving the chop and will have their long locks cut off at school to raise money for charity.

Twins Megan and Sophie Thomson, who are S3 pupils at Auchenharvie Academy, will be having their cut off and donated to the Little Princess Trust on June 14 and on that afternoon they will be having various events to raise money, including the opportunity to pay a donation to cut off a pleat of hair from one of the girls.

The twins have their own Just Giving page where you can donate online to their cause by visiting www.justgiving.com/fundraising/R-Thomson1 or you can sponsor them in person as they have sponsor sheets.

Keep an eye out for the ‘after’ photographs in a few weeks time.
