Little Princesses

[kvalidir]

Just had my hair cut (love it) and the lovely hairdresser said because I'd had about 18 inches taken off it I could donate it to Little Princesses who make wigs for little girls (and boys) who are suffering hair loss through cancer treatment so he pony tailed it for them :)
I feel quite bad it had never occurred to me when I was thinking of getting it cut to donate it, so bravo lovely Roberto for asking me, but looking they are a really lovely charity and I think I'll keep them as one of the charities I support a lot, as I hadn't heard of them particularly.

Who are your unsung charities and how did you get involved with them, as this was pure chance?

Greek Animal Welfare, after a holiday in Greece many years ago and I saw first hand the appalling way dogs and cats were treated in the area we were in ...

I don't like to talk about all my charity work and donations.

[sherrardk]

My daughter donated her bum length hair when she had it cut for the first time. I think it's Herefordshire based :)

[Sqad]

Nope...don't do charities.
Mrs sqad is a soft touch for any charity or layabout.
IF I did contribute it would be to the Salvation Army

P.S did i tell you about my assignation with a Salvation Army girl selling War Cry's in the East |End of London?

[kvalidir]

No thankfully Sqad you didn't although I can imagine :)

My friend supports Podenco's in Spain for similar reasons hereIam.

I think they are, sherrard- I went to The Address to get it cut, totally lovely in folks in there, I'd not have thought of it otherwise, and he was so excited to get the hair for them, absolutely lovely.

What a lovely gesture kval. Unfortunately I don't have any hair (unless they take beards).

[kvalidir]

Are you Princess Di, Talbot? x

[woofgang]

They also supply wigs for little princes too.

[Jackdaw33]

Yes Sqad, you did.

Will you come to the Mission, will you come, come come,
For a cup of tea and a bun, bun, bun,
...and anything else you fancy for the weekend!

[sherrardk]

Kvalidir, you'll get a certificate that you can print off.

[murraymints]

I did the same when my down to the bum hair cut... how short is it now ?

[kvalidir]

Oh really sherrard, I'm actually quite chuffed about it, I was excited to finally be able to get my hair cut after 3 1/2 years but the Little Princesses thing has really made me feel nice, and given me some perspective x

[kvalidir]

Short Minty! I'll send you a pic via email :) x

[rowanwitch]

Good for you, I tend to support local animal charities

[murraymints]

I went to a pixie cut ! then let it grow to a bob..

[sherrardk]

I had to fill something in online when I sent my daughter's hair and they emailed the certificate back.

[Baldric]

Never heard of it before, brilliant idea, well done Kval.

[-Talbot-]

Kvalidir, you'll get a certificate that you can print off.


Aye, that's the in thing nowadays. I used to stick them on my fridge but after running out of room I had to stop buying fridges.

[kvalidir]

I don't think I've got a certificate for anything Talbot, except my combat certificates and car, bike and shotgun licences if you count that so plenty of room on the fridge :/

So some poor kid's having a crinkly, ginger weave?
