Little Lady Locks Creates Pink Paradise Thanks To Brewers Stockport


Brewers Stockport has donated 70 litres of paint to support a local children’s hair-loss charity.


When the founder of children’s hair-loss charity Little Lady Locks, Ashley Higgins, contacted Brewers Stockport for help refreshing her organisation’s premises, Store Manager Mike Ablott didn’t hesitate. With the tinting machine ready to go, the store prepared a large donation to support the much-loved local cause.


Ashley, a hair professional specialising in hair loss, founded Little Lady Locks in 2018 after repeatedly hearing distressing stories from adult clients about their own childhood experiences with hair loss, and the lack of accessible, affordable support available at the time. Determined to make a difference, she began creating wigs for children at no cost, and demand quickly grew.


Today, the charity provides free hair-replacement solutions to under-18s navigating medical hair loss.


Mike Ablott said the request for help was an easy one. “We were approached by a lovely lady called Ashley, who asked if we could donate some paint for her charity premises,” he said.


“Ashley sent me a list of what was needed and we agreed to donate everything. We ended up giving 70 litres of Albany paints—50 litres of it pink!”

He added that supporting local charities is something he and the Brewers team take to heart: “I love to help small local charities and this one is amazing.”


The donation will help Little Lady Locks continue transforming its space, ensuring it remains warm, welcoming, and uplifting for the children and families who rely on its services.
