Hi,
I just had to tell you about the brilliant time I had last week. I joined the Look Good Feel Better charity as a volunteer to go into my local cancer hospital for a couple of hours, once a month and help a group of ladies with a skincare routine and with make up to boost their confidence and self esteem.
I don't know who got more out of it - me or them! One lady looked in the mirror afterwards and her eyes welled up with tears of joy as she now had eyebrows and had found she still had eyelashes that just needed a little coaxing with mascara. The charity has been in the UK 10 years now, but had never heard of it until I picked a leaflet at the hospital while my husband was having treatment. I checked out their website, called them and voluteered! All the ladies are given a big bag full of all the skincare products they will need, all the makeup form companies like Lancome, Chanel, YSL etc plus a bottle of perfume to complete the package - all this is donated by the companies and makes such a difference to these ladies.
Take a look...Look Good...Feel Better provides free make-up workshops
They hold these sessions in almost 50 hospitals in the UK so if you know someone who is going through cancer treatment, get them to check out the website for details. And I know that the charity always need volunteers.
