From £400 to £9,236: Devon bikers go the extra mile for FORCE!
What started as an idea between two friends to ride their motorbikes around Devon and raise a few hundred pounds…
Losing your hair as a result of cancer treatment can be difficult, and everyone responds differently. You may want to find a wig that feels like your usual hairstyle, try something
completely different, wear a scarf or other headwear, or choose not to cover your head at all.
Whatever feels right for you, FORCE is here to help.
We’re here to support you
You don’t have to work out what to do about your hair loss on your own.
Whether you are interested in a pre-loved wig, would like to explore scarves or headwear, or simply want to talk through your options, FORCE is here to help.
Call us on 01392 408535 to find out more about hair loss support and our pre-loved wig service.
If you would like to wear a wig, our pre-loved wig service gives you the opportunity to find one that suits you without the high cost of buying a new wig.
We have a wide selection of pre-loved wigs in different styles and colours. Each wig is carefully cleaned and repackaged, ready for its new wearer.
Our wig clinics take place every Wednesday and are run by trained FORCE volunteers who can give you a free, personal fitting and help you explore the wigs available. There is no pressure to choose a wig, and you can take your time finding what feels comfortable and right for you.
There is a suggested minimum donation of £30 per wig. As the service is run by volunteers, your donation helps FORCE continue to support local people affected by cancer.

Scarves, headwear and wig care
A wig isn’t the only option.
At FORCE, we also have new and pre-loved scarves and headwear, which you may prefer to wear instead of, or as well as, a wig.
If you choose a wig, we can also help you care for it. We sell specialist products including:
Our team can help you explore these options and find what works for you.
If you would prefer a new wig
You may decide that you would rather buy a new wig. If you are receiving treatment through the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, you may be eligible for financial help towards one.
Your clinical team can give you information about the current process, eligibility and approved wig suppliers. You can also contact the RDUH appliance officer on 01392 404257 for information.
FORCE has also reinforced links with the Little Princess Trust, which provides real hair wigs, free of charge, to children and young people under 25 who have lost their own hair through cancer.
FORCE is recognised as the South West centre for sufferers from cancer and alopecia – LPT works closely with a trusted network of accredited wig fitters to ensure that young people needing their support never have to travel far for their fitting.
More information about the Little Princess Trust is available at littleprincesses.org.uk
