At Cancer Hair Care we are very lucky to work with a diverse range of people and fully support them with their hair loss experience during cancer treatment. We have long been champions of positive inclusivity as it encapsulates our charity’s vital work.
We co-create our services, information and tools alongside the people who need to access them. The result is both reflective and ongoing and has seen the creation of many tools that make sure everyone is supported.
Rainbow Service
Our Rainbow Service – A safe space
At Cancer Hair Care, we have a dedicated LGBTIQ+ Specialist and ‘Rainbow Service’ that is centred on supporting individuals to navigate their cancer-related hair loss journey. All our team are trained to offer a warm welcome to people from any minority group and we are here to offer you a safe place for the guidance and support you may need.
Hair loss related to cancer treatment can cause anxiety and concern for all types of people – We are here to help.
Afro Hair Chemotherapy Guide
Our Afro Hair Chemotherapy Guide is a global first. It is a step towards making sure that people of colour have the specific information they need.
One Head campaign
As part of our unique ‘One Head’ campaign we successfully delivered ‘Diversity Display Packs’ containing a darker skin coloured mannequin head and cultural headwear to UK hospitals, oncology units and cancer support centres to embrace diversity.
Modest headwear
We have been busy working with women from various communities who wear ‘modest’ headwear as part of their cultural or faith commitments, to create items that are suitable for hair loss wearers including hijabs for hair loss and easy tie scarves in ethnic styles and patterns.
