Can you help? One of our pupils, Ava, is going to have 12 inches of her hair cut to donate to the Little Princess Trust to be made into a wig for a child who has lost their hair through cancer. Alongside this, she is fundraising to raise money for the wig to be made and fitted to the child (£700) and to support their extensive research into childhood cancers-
£1000 will buy new drugs to trial. The link to donate is:
