Wig & Scarf Bank

At Iris House Cork Cancer Support, we understand that cancer is more than a medical diagnosis — it’s a deeply personal journey. For many, one of the most visible and emotionally challenging side effects of treatment is hair loss.

That’s why we’re proud to offer Ireland’s only free wig bank — a unique service designed to restore not just hair, but dignity, confidence, and a sense of self.

Our wig bank offers a safe, welcoming space where anyone affected by cancer can come as they are, be heard with compassion, and choose from a wide selection of high-quality wigs, all completely free of charge.

We take time with each individual, providing private fittings, gentle support, and expert advice to help them find a look that feels truly right — not just in appearance, but in spirit.

Whether you’re just beginning treatment, in the middle of it, or adjusting after, we’re here to help you feel a little more like you again.

Thanks to the kindness of our community, fundraisers, and supporters, this service — like everything at Iris House — is delivered with warmth, respect, and care, at no cost to those who need it most.

Because everyone deserves to feel seen, supported, and beautiful — every step of the way.
