We were at the Tesco and Cancer Research UK Race for Life in Northampton on Sunday and we will be at the Race for Life in Oxford on Sunday 19th of June.
At these events, we have been asked by friends and family supporting those starting chemo about what headwear is suitable.
Many women seek to be prepared for the hair loss that can accompany chemotherapy treatment for cancer. The NHS provide wigs through various contracts and this information is available at your local hospital. If you are seeking an alternative to a wig, the choice is either to look for appropriate scarves and hats or to not wear anything.
Our recommendation, from the jashcroft.co.uk collection of headwear, is to consider when and where you would need coverage. We have designed our headscarves to be worn at as an alternative to wigs and most of our clients like to have at least one headscarf. The other choice is usually a sleep cap or cotton beanie hat to keep the head warm during the day, around the house or when sleeping.
For further information on our scarves and hats, please visit www.jashcroft.co.uk.
www.jashcroft.co.uk, British designed and individually made, stylish cotton hats, printed headscarves, turbans for women, beanies for men and new teenage styles. Lovely gifts include silk scarves and Lepel soft bras. Based in the South East we support many national and local cancer charities.

SPECIAL GUEST LUCY SIEGLE TO JUDGE FINALS FOR BEACONSFIELD HIGH SCHOOL HAT DESIGN COMPETITION FOR TEENAGE CANCER TRUST
Jo Ashcroft of 4myhead.com Limited, a South Bucks-based designer of hats and scarves, is pleased to announce that Lucy Siegle will be joining us at Beaconsfield High School (BHS) for the finals of the hat competition in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust.
The hat competition was initiated this academic year with the Year 7 BHS students asked to design and make a hat for teenagers who are being treated for cancer. Through this competition, students in Year 7 are learning about Textiles Technology, enabling them to make informed choices for designing their hats. In 1995, BHS became one of the first schools in the country to be designated a Technology Specialist College.
The final hat that is produced by 4myhead.com will be in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust, which funds and builds specialist state-of-the-art units for young people with cancer in NHS hospitals across the UK. In the past 21 years Teenage Cancer Trust has built 17 units and plans to build a further 16 so that all young people needing hospital treatment for cancer across the UK have access to the dedicated, specialist support they provide. Teenage Cancer Trust does not receive any government funding, so relies on donations.
“I am thrilled that for the finals, Lucy Siegle has agreed to help judge the hats and award the prize to the winner. As soon as I read Lucy’s new book – To die for: Is fashion wearing out the world – I knew her views and research would add an additional benefit to the learning of the students. The topics of sustainability and recycling are a key part of the technology curriculum for all year groups at the school.” added Ashcroft.
On 4th July, the last of the students’ hats will be judged and an overall winner will be announced.

Finals date for Teenage Cancer Trust Beaconsfield High School hat competition
We have now selected Wednesday 29th June as the final day for our hat competition.
The hat competition was initiated this academic year with the Year 7 Beaconsfield High School (BHS) students asked to design and make a hat for teenagers who are being treated for cancer. Through this competition, students in Year 7 are learning about Textiles Technology, enabling them to make informed choices for designing their hats. In 1995, BHS became one of the first schools in the country to be designated a Technology Specialist College.
This has been an exciting competition adding purpose to the existing BHS Technology curriculum. The students and staff have been supportive of this enhanced learning experience. With BHS, JAshcroft selected Teenage Cancer Trust as the charity we would like to support for this project and the charity has provided valuable insight to the students at BHS on specialist needs facing teens who battle cancer.
The final hat that is produced and sold on www.jashcroft.co.uk by 4myhead.com will be in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust.
