Helping you to feel better about yourself

The Look Good Feel Better programme gives help and support to people having cancer treatment.

Cancer treatment can change how you look, including hair loss or skin changes. These changes can be difficult.  

The programme aims to help you feel more confident and better about yourself.

Workshops

Workshops are small group sessions for women. They take place in a friendly and welcoming setting. They are:

  • Free to attend
  • Run by trained beauty volunteers
  • Around 2 hours long
  • Friendly and relaxed

You will learn simple skincare and makeup tips. These tips can help you feel more confident.

Where and when

Workshops are held bi-monthly between Bishop Auckland and Darlington.  

Sessions usually take place from 11am to 1pm.

To find the next date or book a place, contact your local Macmillan Information and Support Centre. You can also book on the Look Good Feel Better website.
