This award will be used as unrestricted funding towards our core costs. In practical terms, £5,000 is equivalent to the project costs of delivering activities for 11 children’s groups over a 12-month period, reaching 300 attendees. Through these groups, children and families take part in group activities and days out in a safe and welcoming environment, helping them to build friendships, connect with others and feel part of a supportive community. Children are able to build confidence and feel less alone, while parents and carers develop connections with others who understand their journey.
"We are incredibly grateful to Benefact Group for this support. Alopecia doesn’t just affect hair, it can impact confidence, identity and mental wellbeing. At Alopecia UK, we’re here to make sure no one has to face that alone, offering support, community , education and understanding when it’s needed most".
Sue Schilling, CEO, Alopecia UK
