What can you expect from this meeting?

Join us online via Zoom for an online youth session, led by volunteers with lived experience of alopecia. This relaxed and supportive session is open to young people aged 13 to 17 in the UK who have alopecia. It’s a chance to connect with others, share experiences, and chat in a relaxed, supportive space.

We know that it can be nerve-wracking to meet people for the first time, especially online. Some attendees of our previous online meetings have told us they felt nervous logging on but were very glad they joined as they got a lot out of it and came away feeling more comfortable and confident about their alopecia. If anyone is feeling particularly nervous about joining a meeting, feel free to contact our team in advance and we can try to reduce any nerves you may have.

Who is this meeting suitable for? 

This meeting is for young people with alopecia ages 13-17. This meeting is only open to those in the UK.

Who will host the meeting? 

The meeting will be hosted by our Online Youth Session Leader volunteers with lived experience of alopecia. 

Meet Julia

I’m Julia and I’m very excited to start volunteering with Alopecia UK. I’ve been diagnosed with alopecia areata just over a year ago and have been passionate about raising awareness breaking the stigma around hair loss. Being part of this community has shown me the power of connection, and I’d love to make sure no one feels alone in their experience. I’m very excited to meet everyone!
