Help Look Good Feel Better raise funds to support women and

Help Look Good Feel Better raise funds to support
women and teenagers living with cancer during
this year’s Feel Better Week from 1st to 7th June.
Hi , I’m Jackie...
I discovered Look Good Feel Better
following my secondary cancer diagnosis
in 2012. After struggling with the side
effects from my cancer treatment – loss
of hair, eyebrows, eyelashes and other
skin related problems, I went along to
a LGFB skincare and make-up
Workshop. Learning simple but
effective tips and techniques boosted
T`JVUÄKLUJLUVLUK0[NH]LTL[OL
opportunity to chat to other women
and raise questions I’d previously felt
unable to ask, which helped me
feel less isolated. Most importantly it
allowed me to cut off the cancer label.
Each year 165,000
women like Jackie
receive the devastating
news of a cancer
diagnosis. For many
of these women their
JVUÄKLUJLHUK
self-esteem is shattered
following changes to
their appearance due
to their cancer treatment.
Look Good Feel Better
believes that every woman
in the UK should have
access to our services
and the opportunity to
receive support should
they want it. Your
fundraising for Feel
Better Week enables
us to further increase
our reach and help
support more women
and teenagers living
with cancer.
Whether at home,
work or in your local
community...
we have lots of ideas
to help you fundraise
during Feel Better
Week.
Feel Better Week runs
from 1st to 7th June,
so choose your date and
your fundraising activity
and have fun whilst
raising vital funds for
Look Good Feel Better.
It doesn’t matter what
you do or how much
you raise, because
every pound makes a
real difference. The most
important thing is that
you take part and show
your support.
fundraising ideas
dine at mine
Why not bring your friends together and host
a dinner party during Feel Better Week. It’s
a great opportunity to catch up with friends
whilst showing off your fantastic cooking
skills. Ask everyone to make a donation at
the end of the evening for what they think
the dinner is worth.
Grocery ‘Pack a Bag’
Why do checkout operators scan your groceries so
quick? You always need an extra pair of hands to keep
up! Why not get some friends or colleagues together
and organise a grocery ‘pack a bag’ at a local store.
You will need to speak to the store manager and
organise a suitable time during Feel Better Week.

Are you a trained Beautician or Therapist or
do you know someone who is? If so you could
create a lovely, relaxing pamper party with your
girlfriends, family and colleagues during Feel
Better Week. Make a donation in return for
a mini manicure, pedicure, facial or complete
makeover! Your guests are sure to have a
wonderful time. Together with some bubbles
and delicious nibbles it’s a fun evening and a
great way to enjoy a bit of pampering whilst
raising funds for Look Good Feel Better.
Get A Sweat On

a Spin-a-thon or Zumbathon at your local gym
or sports hall. You can make your fundraiser into
a community party and include live music, food
and beverages. You could even include other fun
games and contests while people spin or exercise
to raise money for Look Good Feel Better.
Tea at Three

good brew to create a gorgeous afternoon tea event.
Stop work at three and have a chat with a colleague
over a nice piece of Battenberg or host a tea party

why not hold it outside, on a lovely summer’s afternoon.

Feel Better Week Quiz Night
Pub quizzes are an excellent way to raise money. Speak to your local pub or bar
and ask if you can organise a Pub Quiz during Feel Better Week. They will be keen
to support you if it drives people into the pub. Charge teams to participate and get
local companies to donate some prizes – it’s a good promotional opportunity for them.
Boost your fundraising efforts by creating a special sales promotion for the evening
on food and drink, with a donation being made to Look Good Feel Better.
start the day the
feel better way
As an alternative to a naughty cake stand, why not create
a healthy juice and breakfast stall? You could make pots
of fresh fruit and natural yogurt, freshly squeezed juices
or scrumptious smoothies. Everyone will be keen to
kick start their day with something healthy and in return
they can make a donation to Look Good Feel Better.
