Having outgrown their current site, the charity needs to move to a much larger premises. Little Lady Locks Founder, Ashley Higgins, has put an appeal out on social media: “We urgently need more funds. With the rate that the charity is growing, it’s not sustainable and we will collapse. If every one of our followers set up a monthly donation of £1, we would be covered. I don’t know what else to do other than to ask you all to help.”
As a hair loss and extension specialist, Ashley recognised the benefits of hair replacement services for her paying adult clients. However, in 2018 she heard the stories of two young girls and believed she found her calling: “Many of these children’s stories are so distressing; hearing about how they were bullied and became isolated from the world really moved me. I knew then that something needed to change. Even though these hair loss systems truly change lives and help restore confidence back into these children, the reality is that many families cannot afford the costs.”
As a registered charity, Little Lady Locks is dedicated to helping children and young people experiencing hair loss. The organisation supply, fit and maintain hair replacement systems, helping over 150 children to date. Ashley has developed different options for the children to help conceal their hair loss, from full and partial wigs to hairbands, hats and turbans. The service is completely FREE to anyone suffering with hair loss under the age of 18 in the UK.
