Practical Help
Practical Help When You Need It Most
At Olive Tree Cancer Support, we understand that a cancer diagnosis can bring practical worries as well as emotional ones. Alongside our wellbeing and emotional support services, we offer practical help to support you and your family through treatment and beyond. Our services are confidential, free to access, and designed to ease some of the everyday challenges you may be facing.
Wig Service (Crawley Centre)
Hair loss can be one of the most visible and distressing side effects of cancer treatment. At our Crawley Centre, we offer a free wig service to help you feel more like yourself during this time.
We have a wide selection of wigs for you to try, including:
Brand new wigs
High-quality donated wigs
You are welcome to browse and try wigs in a safe, private, and confidential space, with no pressure and no cost. While wigs are provided free of charge, donations are always welcome.
In addition to wigs, we also offer a selection of:
Scarves
Bandanas
Hats
If you would like to donate a wig, we would love to hear from you—please get in touch with our team.
Free Will Service
A simple will explains who you want to inherit your money or property and what should happen if any of your chosen beneficiaries pass away before you. It also names guardians for any children under 18 and appoints someone you trust to manage your estate and carry out your wishes (your executor).
Our solicitor can help you prepare your basic will without cost. You can also discuss more complex arrangements such as trusts with them if required, which might incur costs.
Benefits Advice
Worrying about money, work, or benefits can add extra stress at an already difficult time. We do not offer advice ourselves but will point you in the right direction to get the best advice for welfare benefits and entitlements, financial support during illness or treatment and help for patients and their families.
