After making an appointment our hair experts will meet with ladies over a refreshment to asses their wig needs in a professional environment, offering scalp advise and haircuts if and when our clients need them. Ladies will be able to browse and try our wig library stock. Whether it is short term or long term, no matter the circumstances. We are here to help.With enough funding we would love to stock and offer Head scarves as an alternative

Why they need our service

We are setting up a free Wig Library for cancer patients who have lost their hair as a result of cancer treatments. They will receive expert ongoing advice including 2 free hair appointments and scalp advice.

Plan and expected results

When someone has a cancer diagnosis you receive your medication prescription for free, but your wig prescription, unless you receiving certain benefits will cost you £80 for a nylon wig and £200+ for a real hair wig. We find so many ladies go without a wig as they can't afford the prescription charge due to the severe financial burdens that a cancer diagnosis brings and can find it a distressing side effect of treatment. We want to save this embarrassment and boost self confidence
