West Sussex girls have hair cuts for Little Princess Trust
Isla Taylor Jackson, 5, and Megan Thompson, ten, donated their locks to the Little Princess Trust and raised thousands of pounds for charity in the process.
Children in Need inspired Isla when she watched the programme with her family and noticed some children didn’t have any hair due to illness. She then asked her family if she could donate some of her hair for them.

Megan has been raising funds for the Little Princess Trust and Royal Marsden Hospital.
She was inspired by her auntie Lois, who was diagnosed with leukaemia in June and is currently undergoing chemotherapy.
Megan and Lois were born six months apart and have grown up together.
