The motion

That the Parliament congratulates William Collins, from Springside, on raising £420 for the charity Brightest Star, and donating 30 inches of his hair to the Little Princess Trust; understands that William is an avid heavy metal fan and has been growing his hair for years, and that he wanted to make someone else’s life better; acknowledges that the Little Princess Trust provides free real hair wigs to children and young people up to 24 years old who have lost their own hair through cancer treatment or other conditions, and that the Brightest Star charity raises awareness and funds to help other people save children's lives and supports families after the loss of a child; congratulates both William and his niece for their kindness and generosity, and wishes them all the best for the future.
