Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Support 2gether aims to benefit mothers and families in the Tyrone and Fermanagh area experiencing ante and postnatal depression. Mothers and/or families will receive support through group and one to one talking therapy sessions, private counselling, mindfulness, coaching and alternative therapies such as reflexology. It is hoped that the provision of these services will promote healing , rebuild confidence and ultimately provide sufferers and their families with the ‘tool kit’ they need to overcome the illness. Support 2gether further aims to benefit mothers and families experiencing the illness through the enhancement of education and knowledge of ante/postnatal depression by hosting awareness and information sessions, liaising with health care professionals and the provision of written literature such as leaflets in Bounty Packs. It is hoped that this will help sufferers, their families, health care professionals and other sectors to identify the signs and symptoms of the illness and obtain or sign post towards suitable support available. The public benefits will be demonstrated through regular feedback from those who engage with Support 2gether. It is not anticipated that any harm or private benefit flow from the purposes.

Isla has not had her hair cut since she was born, in fact it has only been trimmed once for her starting school. Following in her big cousin Leona's footsteps, Isla wanted to cut her hair and give it to the Princess' that would use it.

Big thanks to local hairdresser and friend Lisa McCarney for agreeing to cut Isla's hair, we really appreciate it.

When a child loses their hair to cancer or another condition, we'll be there with a free, real hair wig to help restore their confidence and identity. We won't stop until the research that we fund ends childhood cancer forever. Promise.Please visit us at www.littleprincesses.org.uk to find out how you can help us give young people back what cancer takes away.The Trust relies solely on the efforts of enthusiastic community fundraisers. We receive no formal funding. Please help to raise money for us so that we can help more families.

So we are sending her hair to the Little Princess' Trust and asking our friends if they would like to sponsor Isla by donating to this local charity.

Thank you all
