THREE hairdressers have raised hundreds of pounds by trimming their figures for charity.

Pat Downes, Sam White and Sarah Little from Morrissey's hair salon, in Darlington, have lost a total of 75lbs since January.

The trio were sponsored by friends, family and customers to lose the weight and managed to raise £320 for charity.

The money will be split between the St Teresa's Hospice in Darlington and MacMillan Nurses.

Pat said: "After Christmas we all decided we needed to lose a few pounds and we worked really hard to reach our target.

"We were delighted that so many of our customers, friends and family wanted to sponsor us.

"Having two such good causes to raise money for was a great incentive and helped us reach our target weights."
