Become a workshop volunteer

Volunteering with Look Good Feel Better is an amazing way to support the cancer community. By sharing your expertise and leading our workshops, you will be helping to put a smile back on the faces of people living with cancer.

As a Look Good Feel Better Workshop Volunteer, you’ll be sharing your expertise by leading our workshops; working through the guidebook and demonstrating skincare and make up techniques to beneficiaries using the products in our gift bags.

Workshops last for approximately 2 hours, with half an hour either side for set up and pack down of the venue.  As part of the role, you will be encouraged to lead on the delivery of one/two sections of the workshop (skincare, base, eyes & brows, lip & cheek) and assist with the opening and demonstration of products during the session.  Hygiene is incredibly important and so the cleaning of equipment such as mirrors and placemats will also be required both before, and after the workshop.

Essential skills:

• • Professional qualification (NVQ level 2+ or equivalent),
  • or work for a cosmetic brand,
  • and 1+ years’ hands on experience in skincare and/or makeup
  • You must be over 18 to volunteer with us and we cannot accept students.

Personal attributes:

• • Kind, empathetic, friendly, patient and positive.
  • Empathetic and understanding that people might be feeling emotional and able to deal with situations and conversations in a confidential and sensitive manner.
  • confident in teaching others how to apply skincare and make up.

Where we need support:

We run our skincare and makeup workshops in over 115 venues across the country. Here you can find a list of our locations and where we most urgently need volunteer support.
