One of our level 5 HE garden design / landscape students - Mia Power is fundraising for The Little Princess Trust. The charity sends donated hair to wig makers and then distributes the wigs to people up to the age of 24 all across the UK who are medically unable to grow hair of their own for all manner of reasons such as alopecia, cancer and various diseases free of charge. Celebrities like Harry Styles have previously been known to donate their hair to create wigs for these children and people like Livi Deane who was recently on the Traitors BBC TV show have spoken about how the wig donations they received as children filled them with confidence and made them feel normal when battling cancer.
In support of the charity, Mia has cut 15.5 inches off her 30 inches of hair to be sent off to make a wig. The process involved years of hair growth and healthy maintenance before the hair could be arranged in sections and cut off. It is then packaged and posted to the charity who will make it into a wig for a child who is in need.
