“Welcome to the Exeter group. I am really looking forward to supporting you all and helping people in the area”

What happens at the group?

Meetings are informal, just a chance to have a cuppa and a chat and meet new people in a similar situation to your own. New members are always welcome so please feel free to come along and either share your story or just listen to others. No pressure! I also welcome any ideas/suggestions about what you would like to see in the group.

First time coming along to a meeting and unsure what to expect?

Please have a read of our Support Group Guidelines for an overview of how our support groups run as well as our Frequently Asked Questions for more helpful information.

Margaret is happy to answer any questions about the group via email. Please be aware that any questions Margaret is unable to answer will be sent on to staff at Alopecia UK.
Support group leads are not professional counsellors but people who have personal experiences with alopecia and, along with members of the support group can help to give insight and advice on living and dealing with alopecia on a day to day basis. 
Please note that our Support Group Leads are volunteers and do this in their spare time, as such please allow up to a week for replies to emails. Support group leads also cannot give 1:1 support.

Margaret's link to alopecia: 

"Having suffered from the age of 17 with alopecia and going through all the stages from bold patches, to wearing a scarf to hide them, to total hair loss after the birth of my son at age 25, to wearing a wig full-time whilst teaching primary school children,  to shedding the wig at age 40 and now being accepting of my baldness in my own skin at age 67,  I don’t think there’s anything I haven’t experienced with this horrible disease.

I feel I could support and be a listening ear to everyone who has some form of alopecia helping members through the trials and tribulations and to build an inner confidence within us all to deal with this disease. "
