Already well known for their community classes in skincare and beauty to boost confidence after cancer, Look Good Feel Better has a new name, Cancer Support New Zealand, better reflecting the broader practical, non-medical support they now provide.
General Manager Clare O’Higgins explained the change. “Over time, participants shared that they needed more support beyond the original programme. Support for the everyday parts of cancer that can feel unexpected, isolating, and sometimes overwhelming. We listened, and we grew into more than 20 free programmes supporting people through both the visible and invisible effects of cancer”.
Importantly, referral pathways remain unchanged.
“Look Good Feel Better community classes continue to be a core part of our organisation, alongside online, on-demand, and community-based support programmes.”
Cancer Support New Zealand provides free, practical, non-medical support for people facing cancer, at every stage. Supporting the everyday experience, helping you manage the visible and invisible effects, find connection, and gently rebuild confidence, identity, and a sense of self.
Support includes in-community classes and 20+ free online programmes designed for the everyday effects of cancer, from changes in appearance to emotional, physical, and confidence shifts. Expert Q&As, podcasts, and on-demand videos are available too, offering support whenever it’s needed.
Cancer Support New Zealand also provides access to a range of resources to support you, including guidance on work, finances, and support for friends and whānau. You’ll also find links to trusted support organisations and real stories from others, offering insight, reassurance, and a clearer sense of what to expect.
