Little Princesses

Little Princesses

Little Princesses is a charity in the United Kingdom which supplies and funds high quality wigs made of real hair to children suffering hair loss as a result of cancer treatment.

The charity was originally set up by the parents of Hannah Tarplee, who lost her battle with cancer in June 2005. The charity is now run by Hereford Cathedral Junior School in conjunction with Hannah's parents, Simon & Wendy and Tracey Prosser.

This charity is similar to the United States-based Wigs for Kids.

Hair loss is caused by the strong chemotherapy drugs which are used to treat most childhood cancers. Although the NHS can provide wigs, they are often of a very poor quality and look unrealistic. The charity aims to provide the best wigs available.

The Little Princess Trust, as it is formally known, is a registered charity.
