HOW TO RECEIVE A WIG
We are delighted to offer you a free service. Please read the information below and follow the steps.
What is the wig bank receiving service?
The Wig Bank – ‘Twice as Nice ‘service is run by our Cancer Hair Care volunteer hairdressers. The aim is to provide you with a wig free of charge. All wigs have been donated by others then taken through a hygiene cleaning process ready for it’s new wearer.
How long will it take to get a wig?
From getting into contact to receiving a wig takes on average 3 weeks. Kindly note that we are not a wig supplier, this service relies upon donations. With this in mind we have a limited number of wigs and styles to offer.
Who can request a wig?
We kindly ask that in the first instance you try to access a NHS wig referral. However, our Wig Bank service is available to anyone in need of a wig who may not be able to purchase a wig. You must be over 18 to contact us.

Twice as nice is a beautiful project whereby wigs, headwear and specialist items are sent to us so that we can lovingly clean and pack them ready for another to wear. We have been running this project for 12 years. TOGETHER we have supplied thousands of wigs and headwear items to those in need (as well as helping the environment).
