Volunteer

Look Good Feel Better Classes are free sessions designed to support people living with cancer at any stage. They offer practical guidance on caring for skin, hair, body, and wellbeing during treatment, helping participants manage the visible and invisible effects of cancer.

Volunteers make these programmes possible. They bring warmth, care, and practical support that sit alongside clinical treatment. For many participants, it’s the human connection, being understood and supported, that makes the biggest difference.

Anyone who is caring, reliable and wants to support people living with cancer can volunteer. Some roles benefit from experience in beauty, skincare, or wellbeing, but many do not. There are opportunities for a wide range of skills and backgrounds.

No. While some volunteers share professional skills in Look Good Feel Better Classes, many roles focus on supporting participants, helping sessions run smoothly, or assisting with events and community outreach.

Volunteers help create a welcoming, supportive environment. This might include setting up, greeting participants, assisting during the session, and helping everything run smoothly so participants can focus on themselves.

The impact is often in small but meaningful moments, helping someone feel comfortable, confident, or less alone. For people going through cancer, these moments can make a real difference in how they experience treatment and recovery.

There are different ways to get involved depending on your interests, skills and availability.

There are flexible options. Some volunteers help regularly, while others support occasionally at events or classes. You can find a level of involvement that works for you.

Volunteers are supported with guidance and information to help them feel confident in their role. You’ll be part of a team and never expected to do it alone.

Opportunities exist across New Zealand in local communities where Look Good Feel Better Classes are held, and in our Auckland Warehouse on a Tuesday morning, packing Feel Better Confidence kits.

Many volunteers are drawn to making a meaningful difference in people’s lives. It’s a way to give back, use your skills, connect with others, and be part of something that supports people through a deeply challenging time.
