Twelve-year-old dreadlocks to get the chop for charity

Adam Foster, of Newbury, runs Oriol’s music centre, which offers musical activities for people with learning difficulties, from a studio in New Greenham Park.
The 32-year-old has decided to shave off his beloved dreadlocks to keep the centre up and running.
The father of one said: “It wasn’t an easy decision to make because I’ve been growing them since 2000.
I’m a bit worried about what I’ll look like because I’ve had them for so long. I don’t think my son is going to recognise me.”
Mr Foster, who has already raised £1,500 through sponsorship, is hoping to hit the £3,000 mark before shaving off his hair.
