Volunteer Spotlight: Sally
Each week, we will be spotlighting a different volunteer and the amazing work they do.
We're beginning with Sally, who is a Hair Loss Specialist and Beauty Therapist.

"As a Hair Loss Specialist, my role means I have to be a great, empathetic listener who, above all, is there to support and care for every person who needs us."
"Cancer Hair Care means so much to me. Our charity often sees women at the beginning of their cancer journey who are often lost, frightened and scared. To support them and give them hope while they're going through treatment is invaluable."
