About Look Good Feel Better

Look Good Feel Better is a UK based cancer support charity and part of an affiliation operating in 27 countries worldwide. It is the only cancer support charity offering support to women, men and young adults to combat the visible and emotional side-effects of their treatment. Their workshops are normally offered in over 140 hospitals and cancer centres across the UK and to-date has supported over 180,000 people living with cancer. During the current pandemic, the charity has diversified to successfully offer virtual workshops and is in the process of returning to face-to-face sessions.

Look Good Feel Better’s group workshops, hosted by trained experts, help people combat the visible side effects of their cancer treatment from hair and eyebrow loss to brittle nails and dry skin. Each session provides participants with a safe, welcoming, and fun environment to learn new skills and techniques. Most importantly, they also provide a vital opportunity to chat, share experiences and feel supported at such a challenging time.
Volunteering with Look Good Feel Better is an amazing way to support the cancer community. By sharing your expertise and leading our workshops, you will be helping to put a smile back on the faces of people living with cancer.
