September marks a significant time for the alopecia community — Alopecia Awareness Month. It's a time to not only raise awareness about alopecia but also to support those living with alopecia. That’s why we are proud to announce that for every purchase over £50 on our website this September, we will be donating £5 to Alopecia UK, a charity we are proudly affiliated with.
Understanding Alopecia: More Than Just Hair Loss
Alopecia is an autoimmune condition that results in hair loss, which can be partial or complete, temporary or permanent. It affects people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds, with an estimated 2% of the population experiencing some form of alopecia in their lifetime. For many, this condition can be emotionally challenging, impacting self-esteem and overall well-being.
Alopecia Awareness Month serves as a platform to educate the public, reduce stigma, and provide support to those affected by the condition.
Our Mission: Supporting You Every Step of the Way
At Aderans Trendco, we understand the journey of those living with alopecia, and we are committed to being a part of your support system.
We hold regular hair loss support groups and workshops at our seven salons around the UK, meet likeminded people and learn new skills with us. Find out more here.
Why do we support Alopecia UK?
Alopecia UK is a leading charity dedicated to improving the lives of those with alopecia. They offer a wealth of resources, including emotional support, advice on managing hair loss, and guidance on choosing wigs and other hair coverings. Their mission aligns closely with ours—empowering individuals and helping them regain their confidence.
By supporting Alopecia UK, we are contributing to their vital work in research, education, and community support. This partnership allows us to make a meaningful impact, extending our support beyond the products we sell.
How You Can Get Involved
If you or someone you know is affected by alopecia, this month is an excellent opportunity to explore the resources available through Alopecia UK and to connect with others in the community. Here are a few ways you can get involved:
- Shop with Purpose: Each purchase of our wigs in September contributes £5 to Alopecia UK. It's a simple way to make a difference while finding a wig, hairpiece or headwear that makes you feel fabulous.
- Spread the Word: Share your alopecia story or raise awareness on social media using hashtags like #AlopeciaAwareness and #AderansUK. Educating others helps us build a supportive community.
- Donate Directly: Consider making an additional donation directly to Alopecia UK. Every contribution, big or small, helps further their mission.
- Attend Awareness Events: Save the date for the 18th of October in Brighton for our annual Aderans Charity Fashion Show (Wig Walk). We will be raising money for Alopecia UK and our 4 other affiliated hair loss charities! Book your tickets and find out more here.
Looking Ahead: Our Ongoing Commitment
Alopecia Awareness Month is just one part of our year-round commitment to supporting the alopecia community. We continuously strive to provide the best products and services, informed by the needs and experiences of our customers. We are also exploring more ways to give back, ensuring that our partnership with Alopecia UK continues to grow and thrive.
Thank you for being a part of our journey. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of those affected by alopecia.
