Newark Advertiser reporter Rachel Armitage cut and donated 10in of hair to Little Princess Trust

After one of my friends cut her long hair and donated her locks to the Little Princess Trust a year ago, I thought it was such a lovely thing to do.

My mum received a wig when she lost her hair due to chemotherapy and I remember how it made her feel more like herself again, so I did a bit of research and after seeing how easy it was to donate hair, decided to go for the chop.

The Little Princess Trust is a charity that makes wigs for children who have lost their hair, either due to cancer treatments or other illnesses.
