A Newport employee has raised more than £1,000 for the Little Princess Trust after having 12 inches of his hair cut off.
Adam Pinder, who works for WRS Systems, explained: “I’ve been growing my hair again since I last donated 17 inches in October 2021.
“Once it was long enough again, I wanted to do the same and fund-raiser so that I contribute toward the cost of making a wig.
“It’s truly amazing what The Little Princess Trust do to support these young people, so I set out to raise as much as possible to help. I’m so happy that we smashed the target.
“Thank you to my colleagues at WRS and my friends and family for their support!”
The Little Princess Trust provides free real hair wigs to children and young people (up to 24 years) who have lost their own hair through cancer treatment or other conditions.
WRS Systems arranged with the Isle of Wight College Deputy Head, Victoria Egerton, for college hairdresser tutors to attend the WRS Headquarters to cut Adam’s hair.
WRS Systems staff also baked cakes towards Adam’s efforts, which totalled £1,107.84. To make a wig costs the Little Princess Trust £550, meaning Adam has raised enough money to make two wigs.
