Our private Facebook Groups are our primary online peer support platform.

Our main Alopecia UK (Group) has over 13,500 members, with new people joining all the time. 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).

We also have further private Facebook sub-groups too:

• Products and Services Chat - a space to give and receive recommendations on products and services such as wigs, headwear, permanent make up and more. 
• Parents' Chat - a group dedicated to parents of children and young people affected by alopecia. Navigating your child's alopecia can be difficult. Being in touch with other parents can help. 
• Men's Chat - our main group can feel dominated by the experiences of women so we are pleased to provide a separate space for men to share their experiences with other men. 

Our Facebook admins and moderators strive to ensure our Facebook groups are supportive and safe places, encouraging a community-feel that promotes peer support. 

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 too.
