Welcome to Aurora Wellbeing

Wig Library

Whats a Wig Library?

Available to cancer patients free of charge

We understand the financial impact of cancer is tough. A cancer diagnosis can mean reduced income and cancer patients visiting our centres tell us they choose between regular financial commitments and a wig. The cost of a prescription for a wig starts at £80

Losing your hair also has a huge emotional impact for many people, after all we feel better when we look better.

Our wig library offers free access to a wig for ladies with a cancer diagnosis.

What now?

Call our Scot Lane centre (01302 320077) and request a wig library appointment.

When you arrive

Our volunteers will give you a warm welcome with a tea or coffee.

Samantha our experienced hair dresser will show your our wig selection. She can answer any questions you may have and help you try on wigs and offer hair & scalp advice.

She is happy to help you decide on the right look for you and tell you more about the free package you have access to from Aurora.

The Catch?

No catch. You may borrow the wig free of charge for how long you need it.

So whether you want to borrow the wig for the duration of your treatment or a special occasion we can help
