Facing Cancer with Confidence
Look Good Feel Better (LGFB) is a programme of confidence-boosting, free skincare and make-up workshops to help people suffering from the visible side effects of cancer treatment. This practical and very effective programme is supported by the beauty industry in 27 countries worldwide with over 2 million people attending workshops somewhere in the world, on 6 continents, since the service started in 1989 in the USA and 1994 in the UK.
LGFB is the only international cancer support charity that helps boost the physical and emotional wellbeing of people undergoing cancer treatment.
Many of the side-effects of cancer treatment are highly distressing as they can dramatically change somebody's appearance and body image. This, in turn, can have a significant impact on self-esteem, personal confidence and ultimately the strength and determination to overcome the difficulties of the treatment itself. Research studies have demonstrated the strong link between feeling confident in your appearance and self-esteem - never more evident than when facing the rigours of cancer treatment.
