Staff at the Ballyclare, Larne, Carrickfergus and Newtownabbey branches will get their hair shaved on Friday, May 29.

Commenting on the kindhearted effort, Poundland area manager Liam Igoe said: “Like everyone else, our colleagues have developed some interesting hair styles during lockdown. Rather than just complain about having a bad hair day, they’ve decided to do something about it and shave it all off to raise money for a great cause.”
