A CHARITY is looking for trained beauty professionals who are interested in supporting cancer patients at a Wirral hospital.

Cancer support charity, Look Good Feel Better, has launched an appeal and is reaching out to trained beauty professionals who are interested in making a difference and supporting people in managing the physical side effects of cancer treatment. 

Look Good Feel Better was set up in 1994 and runs workshops nationwide that offer practical advice to women, men, and young adults about changes during cancer treatment to the skin, eyebrows, eyelashes, hair, and nails and how to improve body confidence.

Led by beauty and health expert volunteers, they offer a relaxing environment for people to socialise, make friends and talk to others facing similar challenges.  Locally, workshops are held at the Clatterbridge Cancer Centre in Wirral.

CEO Mark Flannery, said: “With the number of people affected by cancer due to rise to four million in the next five years, our services are more important than ever before.

“Our workshops boost the physical and emotional wellbeing of people living with cancer, and our volunteers play a vital role in ensuring that we can reach out to anyone living with a cancer diagnosis.

"To date, we have supported over 200,000 people, but there is much more work to be done.

“We want everyone to feel empowered, motivated, and less isolated – to look good, but most importantly feel even better. And we need volunteers now more than ever before.”

To qualify as a volunteer, you need to:

•         Commit to running at least three workshops a year

•         Have a professional qualification (NVQ level 2+ or equivalent)

•         Have at least one year’s hands-on experience working in the beauty, make-up, men’s grooming industry.
