At Simply Wigs, we pride ourselves on the open and supportive nature of our community, who are eager to share their love of our wigs and forthcoming with their hair loss stories and solutions. While some of the Simply Wigs community started their wig journeys after undergoing hormonal changes or experiencing alopecia, many of our customers are cancer patients who have survived or are still battling the illness.
Their bravery is at the heart of our company, and their commitment to nurturing their fabulousness against the odds is an inspiration to our wig-wearing community. In honour of these incredible women, we wanted to highlight the work of five fantastic charities that are making a real difference in their communities.
What’s it all about?
Meet the Honley Ladies Choir!
Do you love to sing almost as much as you love flaunting your fabulousness through your gorgeous hairpieces and headwear? Then the Abreast The M62 collaborative project might be right up your street! On Saturday, 4th October 2025, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Honley Ladies Choir will be travelling the M62 from east to west, working with Breast Cancer charities to raise awareness while using music to unite communities impacted by the illness.
At Simply Wigs, we share the Honley Ladies’ belief in the incredible power of music and its ability to bring people together in the most meaningful ways. Singing with a shared purpose has brought encouragement, healing and support to so many, and now the Honley Ladies Choir is channelling that same energy into something even bigger.
This bold and inspiring event uses the universal language of music to unite communities all along the M62, a landmark that links our communities both literally and emotionally. Together with the Honley Ladies, Simply Wigs is proud to stand with five charities doing vital work in the fight against breast cancer:
- Hull and East Riding Breast Friends
- Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Trust Breast Care Team
- Prevent Breast Cancer
- Maggie’s Yorkshire
- Maggie’s Wirral
