If you’re a cancer patient, we have an amazing schedule of free virtual workshops planned for you during Feel Better Month! And for those of you in our community of supporters, we would love your help in raising awareness and funds to ensure that all Australians undergoing treatment for cancer can benefit from the Look Good Feel Better program, free-of-charge.
Here’s how you can get involved in Feel Better Month throughout September:
For Patients
Feel Better, online!
In addition to face-to-face workshops and our regular women’s, men’s and teens virtual workshops on skincare, cosmetics and headwear, a range of specially curated, unisex virtual workshops will be running throughout Feel Better Month.
Experts in their fields will be hosting the sessions covering topics such as hair loss, regrowth and colouring; nutrition; exercise; cosmetic tattooing; scar and lymphatic massage; self care coaching; and meditation.
Check out the full schedule for the month below, noting that all times are AEST / 'Sydney' time.
To secure your place in a workshop, visit our workshop registration page and be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook - @LGFBAustralia - for updates and extra content!
For Supporters
Boost that confidence
For the whole month of September at David Jones, $1 from every lipstick or lip gloss purchased in-store or online will be donated to Look Good Feel Better in support of Feel Better Month.
Purchase a pop of colour for your pout, and know you’ll be giving yourself and those undergoing cancer treatment a much-needed boost in confidence!
Visit David Jones here.
Join the Confidence Collective
Become part of our Confidence Collective and help us achieve our vision of connecting a community of people living a shared experience, empowering them to regain control, confidence, and a sense of self.
By donating as little as $5 each month, you’ll be helping us to expand our free national program.
This means more virtual workshops, more Confidence Kits, and more in-person workshops in more locations around the country. It means more Australians facing their diagnosis with confidence.
Sign up as a regular giver and become part of our Confidence Collective today.
SPECIAL OFFER!
As thanks for being the first to join our Confidence Collective during Feel Better Month, those who sign up to regular giving and pay an annual amount of $60+ upfront before the 31st of October will receive a limited edition Look Good Feel Better Christmas Cracker!
Commit to an annual gift here.
Get creative
Why not get creative and hold your own 'Feel Better' fundraising activity in support of Look Good Feel Better any time throughout the month?
Golf days, long lunches, or morning teas - you can turn any fun event that helps friends, family, or colleagues feel better in September into a fundraising activity!
Take a look at our fundraising guide to get some ideas, and register your event here.
And if you're a brand or retailer, have a chat to us about partnership opportunities throughout the month. Whether it's a round-up with each purchase, a donation of a portion of sales throughout the month, or a special 'Feel Better' product or service, we'd love to hear from you.
Contact us at shaqenvfvat@ytso.bet.nh to discuss your ideas.
Give a gift in celebration
If you are celebrating a special occasion in September, asking your family and friends for a donation to Look Good Feel Better rather than a gift is a remarkable way to make a difference.
Your generosity will allow more Australians to participate in the Look Good Feel Better program, helping them face their cancer diagnosis with confidence – an extra-special cause for celebration!
You can choose to create a fundraising page to share with friends and family (and select Cancer Patients Foundation Limited as your charity), or simply make a one-off donation by visiting our donation page.
Spread the word on social media
Help us ensure as many people as possible know we're here to help - throughout September, spread awareness of the Look Good Feel Better program and its ability to boost the confidence of those undergoing treatment for cancer.
You can share one of our posts, or take a selfie wearing your favourite lipstick or lip gloss, tag a friend or family member who helps you ‘Feel Better’ and more confident, and share using @lgfbaustralia and #FeelBetterMonth2024.
For added support, select a lipstick available from David Jones and mention their $1 donation for every lipstick or lip gloss sold during Feel Better Month.
Look Good Feel Better is a national cancer-support program run by The Cancer Patients Foundation: a not-for-profit organisation unaffiliated with any other cancer charity. We receive no government funding. It is your generosity that allows us to provide our program free-of-charge to cancer patients across the country.
Thank you for supporting us throughout the month.
