Feedback from our previous events:

"Very emotional for me and my daughter to see so many children and adults with alopecia.  Until that day my daughter was thinking she is the only one child with alopecia in the UK. She was nervous she might be the only one there. Her face said it all when she saw many more people just like her. We had a lovely group. People were so nice, volunteers supportive and helpful.  It was great to experience things together!"

"Enjoyed being able to have my head uncovered in public without fear of judgement."

"I saw a genuine smile from my son which I hadn't seen in the two years since he lost his hair.  Was wonderful.  But equally his brother loved the rides so both boys were really happy, and so were the parents.  Both boys are asking to go next year."

"I loved everything from start to finish. The constant updates on Facebook and emails to the information breakdown about the groups to the layout of the day. I loved being part of a group as I feel this made the day for me as I got to know my group and never once felt alone. Loved the structure too, some work went into the planning of this and that could be seen, a perfect day."

"It was all excellent. Having the unity of everyone together at the event was really special. Being able to chat to people in the queues and at lunchtime. The WhatsApp group was invaluable in getting messages relayed, finding people, etc. The warmth, positivity and inclusive vibe from the organising team and volunteers fed through all participants. No-one was stressed or awkward. The group banners were excellent. The clothing was superb, hoodies very warm." 

"I write on behalf of myself and my husband and my 18 yr old daughter with Alopecia. We all collectively feel that this event is so important and it’s wonderful to be a part of a ‘family’ of people who just ‘get it’. You don’t even need to talk about the issues, but there is an instant bond with those around us."

"I felt that, for once, having alopecia was normal. Other people in the park tended not to stare as it was suddenly normal to see people with no hair as we were in such a big group."
