Fresh Start’s Owen McCaw Bravely Faces the Big Chop (and Raises Over £500 for the Little Princess Trust!)

After 18 months of careful growing, shampooing, conditioning, brushing, and the occasional dramatic hair flip, Fresh Start Waste Services’ Commercial Manager, Owen McCaw, has finally had the big chop — all in the name of charity.

What began as a “let’s see how long this can go” challenge slowly turned into a full-blown hair commitment. But when the blow-drying, styling, and teasing from colleagues became too much to handle, Owen decided it was time to say goodbye to his flowing locks — and donate them to the Little Princess Trust, raising over £500 in the process!

“After a year and a half of fighting with a hairdryer and a few too many bad hair days, I thought it was time,” said Owen. “At least this way, my hair can do some good for someone who really deserves it.”

The Little Princess Trust creates and donates real-hair wigs to children and young people who have lost their hair through cancer treatment and other conditions. Owen’s donation — and his fundraising – will go directly toward helping them continue this incredible work.

“We’re all so proud of Owen,” said Sean Martins, Director at Fresh Start. “We weren’t sure what we’d miss more – his hair or the daily updates on its progress – but knowing it’s gone to such a brilliant cause makes it worth it.”

Owen’s before-and-after photos caused quite the stir in the office – and while we’re still adjusting to seeing his ears again, we couldn’t be prouder of his generosity (and bravery!).

Well done, Owen — shorter hair, bigger heart.
