HELPING THOSE AFFECTED BY CANCER

 

We run a number of group classes and regular workshops at The Fountain Centre. The group classes don’t count towards the four free ‘hands-on’ sessions and they can be accessed beyond our usual one-year post treatment policy. Some of them are also open to family members and friends who might be accompanying you at the centre. Donations welcome.

 

Look Good Feel Better (LGFB)

A small informal, relaxing and fun beauty workshop for women currently undergoing cancer treatment. The basic thinking behind LGFB – that if you look good, it can help you feel better!
