Alyssa Emery, with the help of her parents Katie and Lee, gifted 10 inches of her locks to the Little Princess Trust on Thursday.

The family have raised more than £200 for the trust.

Katie and her husband are 'incredibly proud' of Alyssa, who they describe as a 'very kind-hearted little girl'.

The pair say she is 'extremely excited' to help another child have 'awesome 'Lyssa hair'.

The trust makes real-hair wigs for children who have lost their own due to cancer treatment or other conditions.

It costs the charity £500 to turn bunches of hair into a wig for a child in need.
