Amy at Alopecia UK:

Amy has been involved in many different projects in her time at Alopecia UK but counts the creation of our children's story booklets and the publication of Alopecia UK's report into wig provision in England key achievements from her time at the charity. 

Why Alopecia UK?

"Being in touch with others with alopecia and gaining that valuable peer support made living with alopecia much easier for me. It was through Alopecia UK that I first met others with alopecia and this changed everything for me. I went from feeling isolated, insecure and angry, to feeling happy and confident again. In 2012, when I found out how small a charity Alopecia UK was, and that it was entirely volunteer-led, I was keen to give back to the charity that had helped me so much. I felt strongly then, as I do now, that people with alopecia deserve to have their condition understood by medical professionals and their needs met. I am proud to be a part of Alopecia UK and its work to improve the lives of those with alopecia".
