Hair loss is one of the most well-known side effects of cancer treatment. As well as losing the hair, skin on the scalp can become dry and flaky. The impact of hair loss can be devastating at any age, but, being a teenager when image and social acceptance are so important, having comfortable, trendy head wear made of natural fibres to protect your head from the sun and the cold is so important.
And that’s one reason why we are so excited about our new partnership with Cool Hats. Cool Hats have been developed for people suffering the after-effects of Cancer treatment, Alopecia and sensitive scalps.
They have taken beanie hats and caps and lined them with a Bamboo Jersey fabric which gives a super soft touch to the skin.
The idea was developed by two friends, Terry Tierney and Jason Marchant. Terry has over 40 years’ experience in the hairdressing industry and Jason has vast experience of designing and manufacturing clothing. Their combined experience helped them to develop Cool Hats, which as well as looking very Cool, are thermo controlled, super soft, sensitive, anti-bacterial, moisture wicking and odour free.
The Bamboo used for the lining is sustainable and has some unique properties which make it a perfect fabric against sore, itchy or dry skin.
Cool Hats have very kindly gifted hats for the Teens, and we can’t wait to see the young people wearing them. A special thanks to TK Max for their support of Cool Hats.
If you’re a Teen and would like a Cool Hat, please get in touch and let us know if you’d like a cap or a beanie.

Detailed below are our events for Teens, Volunteers, Fundraising and Challenges.
Volunteering with Teens Unite has changed my personality and outlook on life. When I hear all the amazing things the teens say about Teens Unite, I can tell they mean every word.
Teens Unite isn't just a charity to me, it was the beginning of restarting my life.
When Elliot started receiving the support of Teens Unite, I could see a change in him straightaway. His outlook on life was becoming positive again and I gained strength from seeing my little boy accepting what had happened and starting to move forward.
I needed help and that's where Teens Unite came in. I believe that everything happens for a reason, and the reason I met Teens Unite was to save my life.
With Teens Unite, I finally realised that I could climb out of this massive hole that I had been digging because I wasn't alone anymore.
If it wasn't for Teens Unite, I wouldn't be where I am now. They have been really supportive and given me the strength to push myself and not give up.
