You\u2019ll leave with new skills, a little more confidence and a complimentary gift bag with headwear and scarfs &#8211; a small gesture from us to support you through your cancer journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Located beside the Northern Centre for Cancer Care, Maggie\u2019s Newcastle provides a warm and welcoming environment for those affected by cancer. Building on the success of existing Skincare &amp; Makeup workshops already delivered at the centre, the introduction of HeadWrappers sessions marks a natural and meaningful expansion of support available to the local community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each workshop is designed to provide practical guidance and gentle reassurance, helping people manage the visible impact of treatment in a supportive and understanding space. Led by trained volunteers, sessions offer both expert advice and the opportunity to connect with others going through similar experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The new service will initially run on a bi-monthly basis, supporting up to 12 people per session, with a dedicated team of volunteers already in place to deliver the workshops.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The launch also reflects the continued demand for accessible, community-based support services in the region, with thousands of people undergoing cancer treatment locally each year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Karen Verrill, Centre Head at Maggie\u2019s Newcastle, shares: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe are really excited to be hosting the launch of HeadWrappers workshops in our beautiful Centre. They will be a welcome addition to our comprehensive programme of support available to anyone affected by cancer. We know this new initiative will be of benefit to many people facing the very real worries around coping with hair loss as a result of cancer treatment.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tess Picken, Regional Manager, adds:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLaunching our HeadWrappers service at Maggie\u2019s Newcastle feels really special to us.
