Christmas Fundraiser for Little Princess Trust
The Little Princess Trust, a charity that provides real hair wigs to children suffering from hair loss, benefited from a Christmas charity event held by the Independent Fundraisers of Worcester.

Although the event was free, during this season of goodwill visitors were encouraged to give generously to the Trust - and they didn't disappoint!
About the Little Princess Trust
The Little Princess Trust was set up in memory of Hannah, the original Little Princess. Hannah was diagnosed with a Wilms tumour and lost all her hair while undergoing treatment. Hannah found losing her hair very upsetting and Hannah’s parents, Wendy and Simon, struggled to find suppliers of real hair wigs in small sizes.
After Hannah sadly passed away in 2005, Wendy and Simon received so many offers of support they were able to set up a charity to help other children in the same situation. Hannah loved wearing her wig and the charity now sources wigs for other children who have lost their hair, either through cancer or other conditions, such as alopecia areata.
Since 2006, the Little Princess Trust has helped provide over 2,700 children with wigs made from real hair, and they now employ five members of staff to help keep up with demand.
