Directory
Our Cancer Hair Care experts and patient panel are working together to create the UK’s largest online directory of specific hair loss suppliers, services and support for cancer patients.
The new directory is scheduled to be completed in 2025. Once complete the directory will have a map link, more information, images and logos. For now we have a simple format that we hope will help to provide you with the basic information you require.
If you would like to recommend an organisation for our directory our panel would love to hear from you. Please email us: support@cancerhaircare.com.
