Campaign: | To raise awareness of alopecia |
The effects of alopecia can be life-changing and for those who lose their hair, it can be very difficult.
We’ve seen someone we know go through the experience and have decided to raise awareness of the condition to help other people understand it.
In our opinion there’s still a stigma attached to hair loss that can leave those with alopecia feeling vulnerable and isolated.
With Fixers, we’re working on a poster campaign featuring models with alopecia to show that they shouldn’t be defined by their appearance.
We hope it helps improve understanding of the autoimmune disease, while also helping those with alopecia realise they’re not alone.
Here is a list of Fixers helping us with our Fix:
Rachel Wickett | Zoe Reilly |
Ellie Humphries | Jessica Green |
Jessica Lawry | Lauren Wardle |
Jasmin Johns | Shemeka Tello |
