EP339: Little Princess Trust—Giving Hair and Hope to Children with Cancer.

Im thrilled to welcome back Wendy Tarplee-Morris, the co-founder, and Phil Brace, the CEO, of the Little Princess Trust, a charity that holds a special place in all our hearts. Wendy and Phil are two amazing people who have drive, compassion, and leadership.

Since its inception by Wendy 20 years ago, the Little Princess Trust has provided over thousands of free, real-hair wigs to children and young people facing the unimaginable challenge of hair loss due to cancer treatment and other conditions. But their mission extends beyond the wigs; they also fund vital research into childhood cancers.

Our conversation today ranges from the upcoming 20th anniversary of the Little Princess Trust to the significant role of the hair industry in supporting their work, the process of creating these lifelines from donations, and how every snip and trim could contribute to something powerful.
Back in 2022, Wendy and Phil shared insights into the Little Princess Trust partnership with Great Lengths on the How To Cut It podcast, and today they’re back to dive deeper into what makes the Little Princess Trust truly unique
.
Now, more than ever, let’s get behind the Little Princess Trust. The 20th year for the Little Princess Trust is a milestone that marks great achievements and sets the stage for future aspirations. As hairdressers, we can create smiles and provide comfort by partnering with the Little Princess Trust. Let’s continue to support, donate, and raise awareness for this incredible cause.
Tune in to hear how you can make a difference to the wonderful work that the Little Princess Trust is doing.
