Pledge Option 1

Cancer Hair Care Hairdressing Ribbon Service

I want to volunteer to provide this FREE service

Our Cancer Hair Care Hairdressers experience a deep sense of fulfilment by using their expertise to make a positive difference to people during the entirety of their hair loss journey. 

What is the Hairdressing Ribbon Service and how does it work?

Our hairdressers provide services in their salons or via their mobile services. This is called our Cancer Hair Care Hairdressing Ribbon Network. 

We ask that you can commit to providing a minimum of two ‘Hairdressing Ribbon Services’ a month. The service consists of three stages and is provided, by you, for free, to the patient. We offer you full ongoing support and training and all the information you need about how to provide the service. 

You will provide free of charge:

1. Consultation 
2. Caring cut or service 
3. Check in (usually a phone call)

If you choose to become a Cancer Hair Care volunteer you will join other highly trained UK hairdressers to deliver services in your salon, place of work, NHS hospitals and other venues. For example, our hairdressers work across a range of venues:

• In their salon
• Via their mobile service
• In NHS Hospitals
• Helpline - on the phone  
• At Cancer support venues
• In the community
• Online Webinars and Workshops

We are the only charity covering all cancer treatment related hair loss issues including:

• Chemotherapy 
• Radiotherapy
• Immunotherapy
• Hormonal therapy 
• Surgery

To become one of the UK's most highly trained cancer specialist hairdressers and give back to the community, sign up for our FOUNDATION course as your first step. 

It takes just 2 minutes to enrol onto the training.

Pledge Option 2

I’m happy to fundraise

From sponsored wig walks, salon events, afternoon teas to sporting events, treks and lots more. If you select this option of support, the fundraising team will be in touch with ideas, fundraising packs and support. From £150 to £3000, our hairdressers are creative, involve their customers and have great fun with their fundraising.

Pledge Option 3

Join the Cancer Hair Care Support Directory

Once you have completed the course we want to tell people all about you and your services. The Cancer Hair Care Directory team will ask you for your business information to position you in the most relevant section of our directory. For example, if you are a wig supplier or specialise in colouring hair, you would be added to the relevant section of our Directory.

Pledge Option 4

Hold a Cancer Hair Care Awareness and Fundraising Event

Raising awareness of the Cancer Hair Care charity is vital. Everyday we hear from people who say “I wish I had known about your charity as it would have been so helpful when I lost my hair during cancer treatment’. It’s always sad to think that people are missing out on support. There are many ways to raise awareness, for example, at a school fete, community event or perhaps holding a salon evening and inviting your clients and the local community to  raise awareness and funds.

Pledge Option 5

Support pack • charity coin collector

poster • social shout outs

Help raise awareness and funds for Cancer Hair Care by requesting one of our support packs; which include a coin collection shaker, a poster to put up in your salon and information on how to share/follow/tag us on social media. With your help, we can be one step closer to reaching those in need.

Pledge Option 6...it's the magic number :)

I want to do it all!

We need you! So many lovely hairdressers tick this box and really do (over time) do it all!

We provide inspiration, support, resources and the community so that our Cancer Hair Care  hairdressers really can have their cake (selling a slice or two to fundraise!) and eat it. Come and join our team.
