SERVICE DETAILS
Our Facebook Group is our primary online peer support platform, along with its three sub-groups. The main Alopecia UK (Group) can be found at https://www.facebook.com/groups/AlopeciaUK.
With over 10,000 members, the main group is a busy place to be! 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).
Facebook sub-groups which we felt would benefit from having their own space are:
Products and Services chat...
A group for those in the UK wishing to chat about products and services relating to alopecia.
Please see https://www.facebook.com/groups/AlopeciaUKProductsServices.
Parents' chat...
A group for parents of children with alopecia in the UK.
Please see https://www.facebook.com/groups/AUKParentsChat.
Men's chat...
A group for men with alopecia in the UK to share their experiences and gain support.
Please see https://www.facebook.com/groups/AUKMensChat.
Our admins and moderators strive to ensure our Facebook groups are a friendly place, encouraging a community feel that allows for useful peer support to come through. 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.
