Sean said the head shave was brought on by “a strong connection to the Centre” as well as the people it serves.
Without hesitation after the plan of shaving his head came to mind, Sean set out visiting local shops and clubs for support and donations.
In a response to his new look Sean said: ““Most people said I actually suit being bald.”
“And the hair’s grown back so fast, it shocked everyone.”
He added: “It feels good to do something for someone else. I’d like to do more, but I’ll give it a bit of time to think about what I can do.”
Plungington Community Centre, run by Preston based charity Caritas Care, provides a range of activities for people of all ages in the local community.
Their community café opens 10am to 2pm on Monday to Friday and offers local residents a space to gather and reduce social isolation.
