Trevor sorbie to receive honorary doctorate

On 11th July at the Paisley Campus graduation ceremony, Trevor Sorbie will be presented with an Honorary Doctorate. This Doctorate is to recognise his outstanding contribution in the field of business and entrepreneurship, and social awareness of suffering and crisis in cancer patients. Trevor's famous hairdressing journey began over 50 years ago in Paisley, Scotland – a place he recently revisited to create his latest documentary. The pioneering, non-profit charity, mynewhair, that offers a wig customising service for people suffering from cancer and medical hair loss, celebrated its 10^th year in business last year. Now working with lead cancer centers it enables more patients to access the wig styling service and so the charity is experiencing increasing demand and an increase in referrals. Trevor continues to run monthly workshops to train other hairdressers in the art of wig customisation, and works closely with the NHS to ensure that this service can become widely available to all those who need it. As the charity continues to grow, with the support of L’Oréal, Trevor will be rolling the mynewhair concept worldwide in the coming years.
