The sizeable haircut occurred at Clare’s workplace, Pickering Electronics, in Stephenson Road, Clacton, and hundreds of pounds have been raised for Sandy’s farm.

Speaking about Clare's fundraiser, Sandy's Farm director, Gary Clarke, 53, said he was delighted with what she had done for the charity.

He said: "I thought she was amazing and brave [to have the haircut], we are very grateful for what she has done."

Clair’s hair was donated to The Little Princess Trust, a charity which provides free wigs to children and young people who have lost their own hair through cancer.

The farm, which was previously based in Kirby Road, Walton, has expanded over the last few years.

It now provides a space fo students and schools to learn and develop their skills in a green environment.
