Wiggly T is a not-for-profit company. We make and gift T shirts for children with cancer. Our aim is to gift a shirt to every child who needs one across the UK.

What is a Wiggly T?

If your child is in treatment for cancer (or another, longer term, medical condition), lives in the UK, has a central line, and is age between 0-14yrs then we would love to make a T shirt for them to use during treatment.

Our goal is to gift a Wiggly T to every child in the UK undergoing treatment. To request a free Wiggly T, please follow the link below and fill in the form.

All of our T shirts are handmade to order, by our FABULOUS volunteers. Please allow up to 4 weeks for delivery.

All our T shirts are made from Oeko-Tex certified cotton jersey (95% cotton 5% elastane) or GOTs certified organic cotton jersey (95% cotton 5% elastane) to ensure they are breathable and soft with a slight stretch.
WARNING: All our tops contain resin snap poppers with small parts. These snaps have been tested against PD CEN/TR 16792:2014.
