At Look Good Feel Better our confidence-boosting workshops are part of our DNA – that’s what we do. Our workshops are available in local communities across the UK as well as virtually so you can access our support from the comfort of your own home.
Wellbeing workshops and classes for people living with cancer
We understand how emotionally challenging living with cancer can be. That’s why Look Good Feel Better run free workshops, virtually and in local communities across the UK, which give practical advice and support to people living with cancer.
Every workshop offers an invaluable opportunity to talk to others in a similar situation, whilst helping support people with their changing appearance. People leave our workshops feeling empowered, motivated and less isolated – allowing them to look good, but feel even better.
Support for Women
Book onto an enjoyable and informative two hour online workshop. As part of a small group you’ll have a chance to learn new skills and techniques and have the opportunity to chat to our expert as well as others in a similar situation to yourself.
