Macmillan Speed Shear - Another Fundraiser?!

We have teamed up with ‘The Corner Collective’ - A local crafts shop in Builth Wells to organise another fundraiser in aid of Macmillan cancer support. We will be braving the shave in Builth Rugby Club, November 11th at 2pm. The aim is to get as many people to brave the shave with us too. We are calling the fundraiser - ‘Macmillan Speed Shear’. So join our flock and get your head shaved with us. The goal is for each participant to try and raise at least £50 each.

We will be setting up a donation link shortly so stay tuned!

There will also be a collection in pot in The corner collective shop for any cash donations. (Address below)
