8 years ago, in August 2012, I got my hair cut from bum to chin length, to donate the hair to the little princess trust and donate money to charity. I swore i would never do it again, long hair was too much work, yet here I am with hair almost as long, and planning another cut. 

This time, I'm not cutting as short  but I will still donate the hair, and would like to raise a little money on top!

So why this charity? I'm proud and privileged to have worked with some families experiencing the worst time in their lives, and whilst the care we can provide at Hillingdon comes with full hearts, the facilities let down these bereaved families. They deserve better ❤💙

Most women go into pregnancy expecting healthy babies, but sadly there are many couples who lose a baby. This can occur at any point in the pregnancy. The rate for stillbirth is 1 in 200, the rate of congenital abnormalities is 1 in 47 and the premature delivery rate is 7%.Currently mothers at Hillingdon maternity have to give birth to their sleeping babies on the busy Labour ward where they can hear other families celebrating and the cries of live babies being born. The psychological impact of these events on the couple and the wider family is significant.This event has a devastating effect not just on the woman, and her partner but also the wider family and friends. A mother needs to give birth in a psychologically safe space where she and her partner and family can mourn their loss, and make special memories with their baby in the precious time that they have together. We want to provide this space.
