All of us will know of someone with cancer and the devastating feelings that diagnosis will bring. Look Good Feel Better (LGBF) is a charity set up by the in 1994 to give free pampering therapy skin care and make up workshop sessions to women with cancer.

Volunteers with a background in beauty support these workshops which are intended to make women feel ‘normal’, especially when suffering the side effects of their cancer treatment. There are over 80 centres around the country and the nearest to Waterlooville is at the Macmillan Centre in Queen Alexandra Hospital Cosham, Portsmouth.

One LGBF beneficiary wrote, “The workshop changed my life around and showed how I could look like the me I used to be, not the me who happens to be a cancer patient”
