Aim: Provide professional human hair wigs to cancer patients who have lost their hair due to treatment on a donation basis or pay as you can

The idea came when my partner sadly got leukaemia in 2022. We went through all the hardship of how cancer treats someone. During the time she was having treatment, her hair started to fall out in pieces. We have three children and it was easy to hide the fight with cancer from them but when my partners hair was falling out in front of them it was becoming difficult.


Being in the UK, the NHS can give out free wigs for those in need of one. Unfortunately there are requirements needed to be able to receive one. Even then, the wigs aren’t full human hair. Human hair wig can be used during treatment. Some non human wigs may affect the treatment. Since my partners couldn’t qualify for a free wig, we looked online. The price for a single wig was too much for us to purchase. We were looking at £150+.

This is where the idea of The Wig Haven started. I believe there should be a platform or somewhere where people who have lost their hair due to cancer be able to get a full professional human hair wig. No ifs no buts. This is the reason The Wig Haven Project is a donation or pay as you can project to be able to get a wig. There aren’t any restraints from financial situations. Not everyone can afford a £200 wig especially when they have been diagnosed with cancer.

We want to be able to help those in need and help fight the battle with cancer. A wig isn’t just an accessory, it’s an extension of someone’s personality. We hope to become a beacon of hope and support.
