LGFB motivated me to take pride in myself again
First of all I would like to say a big thank you to all those who contribute their time, expertise and resources to this wonderful program. It has boosted my spirits more than you can imagine. It was very inspiring to see the videos of other cancer survivors and their feedback. It was very difficult …
Volunteers are like “Beauty Guardian Angels”
Being a volunteer for LGFB is both humbling and rewarding. Every woman wants to feel and look her best at any time, but particularly when the going gets tough and a little extra help is needed. The Look Good Feel Better workshops provide the basic tools for every participant to be able to take control of …
Thank you Look Good Feel Better team!
I attended your 4th October session and wish to thank you for putting on the event and for all the time and loving care of so many volunteers.

Thanks LGFB!
Just wanted to say that Look Good Feel Better was so helpful to me when I was going through chemotherapy for breast cancer three and a half years ago. I’m not usually a person who wears much make-up but I definitely needed some lessons on drawing eyebrows. I learnt to do it so well no-one …
Dear Look Good Feel Better
Dear Look Good Feel Better, I recently attended a “look good feel better” workshop in Wellington, having had it highly recommended to me when I started radiation and chemo therapy earlier this year. I wanted to make sure that the decision makers behind the scenes understand what a profoundly positive effect you have on the …
