Facebook Groups

Our Facebook Group is our primary online peer support platform, along with its three sub-groups. The main Alopecia UK (Group) can be found here.  Facebook sub-groups which we felt would benefit from having their own space are:

  • Products and Services chat
  • Parents' chat
  • Men's chat

With over 12,000 members, the main group is a busy place to be! Each month we have over one hundred new members joining and group members posting 500+ posts and 7000+ comments.  It is a great place for people with all types of alopecia (hair loss).  Our admins and moderators strive to ensure our Facebook groups are a friendly place, encouraging a community feel that allows for useful peer support to come through. All of our Facebook groups are 'private groups' which means that any posts made within the group are not seen by your Facebook friends, unless of course they are also a member of the group.
