I was a charity volunteer for several years, in a totally different capacity so cannot comment specifically on your question Debs.
I just wanted to say that any form of voluntary work whether for charity or otherwise, is always greatfully received and on a personal level, is very rewarding. Good luck xx

Thanks Karen
![]() Well I wanted to bump this up and let you all know how it went because I would urge anyone who is qualified in make up application to consider volunteering. Firstly I had an absolute ball and can't wait to go again. There were 9 ladies who came, all in various stages of cancer treatment, some with hair some without, some who were obviously in severe physical discomfort and some who were visably nervous about being here. No one knew other, but they all came because they wanted to learn how to make themselves look like beautiful women again. We (3 beauty consultants and me) welcomed them and gave them a gift box which is donated by the cosmetics houses. These boxes were amazing, all the products required to do a full cleanse and moisturise and everything to do a full face of make up. They also had a large bottlew of Dior perfume too, the total value must easily have been over £300. One of the volunteers used a lady to model and showed them in 12steps how to cleanse, and then apply make up. During all this we ewre available to either help hands on, on give more individual advice. The amazing thing was that you could see these women change before your very eyes, not just the way they looked but they were relaxing, having a laugh and chatting with each other. It really was excellent. Please, please go along and help, it is a wonderful charity that any one of us or our families and friends could find in need of one day. Here is a link to their website Look Good...Feel Better |

It's a fantastic charity! I've just taken part in creating a DVD that will be given to all patients. Apart from me giving some nail tips, there was Charles Worthington on hair and wigs and Caroline Barnes on make up tips. Nadine Baggott introduced it all and interviewed us and our models.
It really does help people who are feeling at their worst. There are centres all over the UK and I expect they all need plenty of skilled volunteers to make so many people look good and feel better! |
