The Little Princess Trust has been helping children and young people since 2005.
The Little Princess Trust provides free real hair wigs to children and young people, up to 24 years, who have lost their own hair through cancer treatment or other conditions. They have funded childhood cancer research, searching to find kinder and more effective treatments.
They work closely with a trusted network of accredited wig fitters to ensure their wig recipients never have to travel far for their wig fitting. They know that the children and young people they support may be facing many challenges, so they make the process of requesting a wig as easy and straight forward as possible.
Providing free real hair wigs is at the heart of The Little Princess Trust's mission, but they also want to support the development of less aggressive and less toxic cancer treatments.
In 2016, thanks to the huge efforts of their fantastic fundraisers, they were able to begin funding scientists researching paediatric cancer.
They have now funded 141 research projects searching for kinder and more effective treatments for all childhood cancers as they continue to follow our vision to give Hair and Hope to every young person with cancer until there is no longer a need for what we do.
The Little Princess Trust has now provided more than 17,000 wigs to children and young people with hair loss.
They have also supported many scientists searching for kinder and more effective treatments for childhood cancers.

Salons Direct Ltd is now an official supporter of The Little Princess Trust and we want to raise awareness of this fantastic charity and we would love for our customers to become Hairdressing Hairoes to help The Little Princess Trust in any way they can.
A Hairdressing Hairo is the name given to each of the amazing hair professionals who support the work of The Little Princess Trust.
They play a crucial part in helping to promote the free wig provision service, cutting hair and ensuring donations of long locks are safely sent to The Little Princess Trust.

How The Little Princess Trust spends your fundraising
Last year they were able to help hundreds of children and young people by providing them with a real hair wig. It costs on average £700 to provide one wig to a child or young person. This cost covers the making, fitting and styling of the wig.
The Little Princess Trust covers all costs to ensure its service is completely free for their wig recipients - but they can only do this thanks to your support.
Since The Little Princess Trust began funding research into childhood cancers, they have now funded 141 projects searching for kinder and more effective treatments.
Applications for this funding must pass their rigorous review and must ultimately benefit children. By offering practical help and funding research, they are able to help children now and into the future.
The Little Princess Trust are able to continue doing this, thanks to the fantastic support of their donors and fundraisers.
