Kim's long hair donation

kims hair donation · 17 May 2019
The Little Princess Trust provides real hair wigs free of charge to children and young people up to the age of 24 that have sadly lost their own hair due to cancer treatment and other illnesses. As a charity that receives no formal funding, we rely solely on the generosity of our supporters to fundraise or make a donation. Any contribution you can make to the cost of wigs means that we can continue to provide them free of charge to those who need them.
From receiving hair donations at our office, through to fitting and styling a bespoke wig, it costs the charity from £550 to provide a real-hair wig free-of-charge, to our wig recipients. We currently supply over 100 wigs every month. The Little Princess Trust needs financial donations as well as hair donations, in order to fund the actual manufacturing of the wigs and wig-fitting service. Every penny that you can raise, really does count.
In addition to our free wig provision, we fund research into finding better treatments for childhood cancers. Since 2016, we have funded research projects into many types of cancer (including neuroblastoma, leukaemia, teenage and young adult brain tumours, Wilms' and rhabdomyosarcoma) and a variety of less toxic treatments (including Immunotherapy, Proton Beam Therapy and Drug Repurposing).
Charities pay a small fee for our service. Learn more about fees
