The Little Princess Trust has received The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service (the MBE for volunteer groups) in Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee year.

The Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, (the highest Award given to volunteer groups) which is made annually, recognises and rewards excellence in voluntary activities carried out by groups in the community.  The Award is given every year in recognition of outstanding achievement by groups who volunteer their own time to enhance and improve the quality of life and opportunity for individuals or other groups in the community.

The Little Princess Trust, a charity providing real-hair wigs to children that have lost their own hair through cancer treatment, is delighted and honoured to receive this most prestigious Award.  The charity, which was started in 2006 in memory of Hereford Cathedral Junior School pupil Hannah Tarplee, has given away over 1,100 wigs to date.
