STAFF at HJ Knee will have a close shave at the store in Spitfire Retail Park next Saturday, in a bid to raise at least £3,000 for Cancer Research UK.

Three women and six men,  including store manager Louise Smith, who survived breast cancer, will have their heads shaved.

The event will also include a cake and coffee stall and a raffle in the store, while staff will dress up in pink for the day.

Retail director Ian Vidler said: “We have had several members of staff over the years who have suffered from cancer, so we want to raise as much money as possible and have some fun while we do it.” Donate at  www.justgiving.com/louise-smith64
