Hayleigh Poole, 20, of Alicia Avenue in Wickford, and a former member of Hawkwell and Hockley St John Ambulance had her head shaved last December.

She met her old friends from the brigade at their usual Tuesday meeting in the town's Fire Station in Main Road to hand over the money.

The University of Glamorgan student said: "I shaved my hair in memory of Paul Hayden, a family friend who sadly died of cancer last year."
