THE LITTLE PRINCESS TRUST 

The Little Princess Trust provides real hair wigs free of charge to children and young people up to the age of 24, who have lost their own hair due to cancer treatment and other conditions. We fund vital, innovative research leading to better treatments for childhood cancers that affect patient outcomes. We support the development of less aggressive and less toxic cancer treatments for children.
