West Wight Nursery manager Kim Tyrell has raised an incredible £1,274 for the nursery, having had her head shaved on the school/nursery playground earlier this month.

"To say we're so proud of Kim Tyrell would be an understatement," said director, Stef Burgess. "She's got a heart of gold and took on the challenge of shaving her hair in order to raise money for West Wight Nursery Charity! To raise money for all the little ones. You're amazing Kim Tyrell."

Kim is still taking donations, which will go towards supporting West Wight Nursery. To donate, log on to PayPal and enter email address: fundraisingwwn@gmail.com or click the link https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/westwightnursery?fbclid=IwAR2imdB_vDVGElCrWqCxBHxd49x9-d4kwlqZ23WU_5LvXU7i1M7smgWRc28
