Wendy Tarplee-Morris

Wendy Tarplee-Morris is co-founder of The Little Princess Trust, which was established in Hereford in 2005. She has dedicated her life to supporting young people faced with cancer since losing her daughter Hannah to the disease in 2005. Hannah had been diagnosed with a Wilms Tumour, and the loss of her hair was especially traumatic. Wendy and Hannah's father, Simon, struggled to find a suitable wig when she underwent treatment, and felt the most fitting tribute would be a charity dedicated to providing wigs for children.

In the earliest stages of the charity, Wendy handled all calls and built relationships with parents, hospital staff, and wig recipients. She now heads up research funding and ensures the charity meets the needs of all children and young people requiring its service. In her current role, Wendy ensures children and young people with hair loss receive the best service available and liaises with childhood cancer researchers the charity funds.

The Little Princess Trust has helped nearly 18,000 children and young people through its free wig service and is now one of the UK's largest charity funders of childhood cancer research. In the King's New Year Honours list, Wendy was awarded an MBE in recognition of her services to children with cancer. She acknowledged co-founders Simon Tarplee and Tim Lowe, without whom the charity would not exist.

What Wendy Tarplee-Morris could bring to The Little Princess Trust: As co-founder and Director of Services & Impact, Wendy brings two decades of demonstrated expertise in mission-driven charity operations, research funding coordination, relationship-building with healthcare professionals and vulnerable populations, and scaling social impact from grassroots initiative to one of the UK's leading childhood cancer funders. Her lived experience navigating family crisis has translated into empathetic organizational leadership and deep stakeholder engagement across medical research, beneficiary care, and donor relations.
