Librarian Peter Clifford took on the challenge of having his beloved beard cut shaved off in aid of Over and Above’s Cancer and Wellbeing Centre. Fundraising Officer Julie Whitton said “Initially I thought I would cut it but when I saw the look of horror on Peter’s face when he saw the shears I thought I’d better get an expert in”. Matt Warren of Matty’s Barber Shop in Silver Street came to the rescue and saved the day. Peter said “I have always had a beard but never more than about 3 inches long at most! Some time back, my wife Jennifer, cut off her hair which was all the way down to the small of her back and donated the money to the Over and Above charity. I thought that was a very nice thing to do so when I told the Over and Above crew that I would cut my beard off for charity they accepted so quickly they almost pulled my beard off there and then! I do hope that you will donate some money to such a good cause.” So far Peter has raised over £200 towards the Cancer and Wellbeing Centre Appeal but there is still time to donate to Peter’s Just Giving Page HERE
