Every year on Childhood Cancer Day, we take a moment to acknowledge the brave children fighting cancer and the families standing beside them. One of the many challenges children face when going through treatment is hair loss. At Aderans, we understand the emotional impact of hair loss and are committed to providing support, advice and a variety of options for those going through this journey.
The Little Princess Trust
We are incredibly proud to work closely with The Little Princess Trust, a charity that provides free wigs to children and young people, up to the age of 24, who experience hair loss due to cancer and other conditions. If your child needs a wig, you can reach out to The Little Princess Trust for support, and we can help fit and style their wig to make them feel as comfortable and confident as possible.

Emotional Support for Parents & Families
