Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
What is offered from the Wig Bank Plus service?
The Wig Bank Plus service (formally known as ‘Twice as Nice) is run by our specially trained Cancer Hair Care volunteer hairdressers. The aim is to provide a wig free of charge to those in need. 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.
