This week, Walcot Hall proudly witnessed an inspiring act of kindness as Sam, one of the dedicated care team members, made a significant contribution to charity by having 18 inches of her hair cut off for the Little Princess Trust.
The charity, which provides real hair wigs to children and young people who have lost their hair due to cancer treatments and other illnesses, received this generous donation to help make a difference in young lives.
The haircut was carried out by Molly, a local hairdresser and one of the charity’s “Hairdressing Hairos”—the title given to the amazing professionals who support the Trust’s work. Hairdressing Hairos play a crucial role in promoting the charity’s free wig provision service, cutting hair for donations, and ensuring the long locks are safely sent to the Little Princess Trust.
Residents and staff gathered to show their support, cheering Sam on for her selfless act. “Sam’s donation is a wonderful gesture, and we’re proud to see her support such an important cause,” said Connie Hughes, Walcot Hall Manager. “It’s a great example of the kindness we see within our community.”
Phil Brace, Chief Executive from The Little Princess Trust, said: “We are so very grateful to Sam for her wonderful donation of hair. Our longest wigs are our most popular and so any donations measuring above 16 inches in length are especially welcome to help us meet demand.” He added, “We know from speaking to our wig recipients just how much our wigs can help them at a challenging time, but we can only provide this free service thanks to some very special people like Sam.”
Thanks to the wonderful support of the team, residents, and families, many have already donated to this worthy cause. For those who would still like to contribute, a donation box has been placed Walcot Hall, or you can donate via The Little Princess Trust website.
Walcot Hall would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has already donated and encourages anyone else who wishes to do so to drop by and contribute to this wonderful cause.
