Product Neutral

LGFB gift The LGFB programme is entirely product neutral with no cosmetic product, range or manufacturer being promoted. The complimentary product gift is made up of different brands. Each participant at a group session receives both free advice and a collection of skin care and cosmetics to suit her complexion colour. This enables her to continue to practice and experiment at home. The gift also contains a practical guide for coping with hair loss.

LGFB workshops are informative, lively and – most of all – fun. They have been described as two hours of ‘learning, chat and laughter’ with ladies gaining support and comfort from the fact that they are all going through the same types of treatment. Almost immediately everyone forgets they are cancer patients and sets about learning new techniques, trying new products and gaining tips and ideas from the expert beauty consultants.

Sadly, the number of women diagnosed with cancer each year is showing little sign of decreasing. Our aim is to make our free service more widely available and to increase the number of women we are able to reach year on year with carefully managed growth into new hospitals. Please look at our interactive map to see our current listing of LGFB hospitals.

What the experts say

For many years the medical profession has recognised the importance of positive thinking and confidence when their patients are facing serious medical issues. Two experts who have many years of experience seeing the effects of LGFB in their hospitals say :

We feel very fortunate to have LGFB workshops taking place in The Royal Surrey Hospital. I always know when my patients have been along to a session because the next time I see them they are looking great and obviously feeling very much more confident.

Dr Stephen Houston, Consultant Medical Oncologist
The Royal Surrey Hospital.

Initially I didn’t realise what a positive effect the beauty makeovers could have on cancer patients but I have now experienced many years of seeing the amazing difference they can make. The visible side-effects of some cancer treatments can be pretty hard to cope with, but a LGFB session seems to help across so many levels – both psychological and physical.
