Shoreditch school The Lyceum has a ‘Bad Hair Day’ for Great Ormond Street Hospital

Youngsters sported their wildest, wackiest hairstyles in support of ‘Bad Hair Day’, an annual initiative raising money for children’s hospital Great Ormond Street.

Staff and children from The Lyceum in Paul Street, Shoreditch, swapped their combs for bright hair dyes, extra strong hair gel and braids as they raised £5,000 in sponsorships on the day.

The school backed the initiative to raise awareness of the great work that the hospital undertakes in caring for children and providing support and accommodation for their families while they are treated.
