2017 Highlights The second half of 2017 was
an incredibly busy time for the
Fundraising team...
September saw our second annual
‘SWALK – Walking for Women with
Cancer’ event at Denbies Vineyard in
Dorking. Over 300 supporters took
part in the 5K and 10K walks through
stunning scenery, then enjoyed cream
teas in Denbies conservatory restaurant,
whilst listening to Guildford-based
‘Tenovus Sing with Us’ choir. Thanks
to M&S Beauty’s generous sponsorship,
SWALK raised over £19,500.
As part of our new strategy to increase
individual support through consumer
shows, the Head Office team and
some of our Confidence Club volunteers
met hundreds of ladies at the Knitting
& Stitching Shows in London and
Harrogate. LGFB teamed up with sewing
guru and author Wendy Gardiner, who
produced a pattern for a make-up bag
and brush roll holder for the special
edition fundraising pack. Over 1,000
fundraising packs were given out,
enabling keen sewers to make the
products and raise funds for LGFB.
We were delighted with the very positive
response from attendees. The pattern
SWALK can be downloaded from the fundraising
pages.
October saw our first ‘Beauty Festival’
event held in St. David’s Centre in
Cardiff. Twelve stores took part including
Debenhams, Boots, M&S Beauty and
The Perfume Shop, together with over
20 leading brands. Shoppers were
encouraged to make a donation in
return for mini makeovers and treatments,
whilst enjoying the wonderful voices
from the ‘Tenovus Sing with Us’ choir
and Cardiff’s Affinity Women’s choir.
In addition, Scarlett & Pearl engraved
The Knitting & Stitching Show perfume bottles for a donation and there
was a fantastic men’s and women’s
beauty hamper worth over £1,000 as a
raffle prize. The event greatly increased
awareness and raised over £5,000.

Since the launch of our
partnership in 2017, 170
Debenhams stores nationwide
have been involved in some
great fundraising.
Three gala events in April, September and
December helped raise funds and awareness
of our services in communities around the
country.
Debenhams Cardiff was instrumental in
helping ensure the Beauty Festival was a
huge success. Beauty Department
Manager Sue Carter said, “We absolutely
love supporting this charity as it is so
hands on and really understands what
cancer patients are going through.
We always look forward to the fundraising
events as it brings the whole store
together, not just the beauty department.”
We also held two very successful Debenhams
Head Office awareness events, raising over
£4,000.
October saw LGFB attend our first Debenhams
Foundation Ball at Grosvenor House Hotel
in Mayfair, with over 800 guests supporting
Debenhams’ four official charities. As LGFB is
the newest charity to receive the Foundation’s
support, our ‘Voices of LGFB’ film was shown,
which the audience found very moving.
This glamorous event was hosted by Gabby
Logan and included performances from
award-winning mind-reading duo, DNA,
as well as Karen, Giovanni, AJ and Oti from
Strictly Come Dancing, before Rick Astley got
everyone onto the dance floor. The Auction
and Raffle raised over £210,000, which will
be split between the four charities.
Sara Stern, Trading Director at Debenhams
and LGFB Board Member (bottom right), said,
“Our partnership with Look Good Feel
Better has got off to an excellent start.
As a key UK retailer, we recognise we
can provide unparalleled support for
LGFB through our stores and brand
partners. We look forward to working
closely together to enable LGFB to further
increase its reach and support for people
living with cancer.”
Ian Daniels, Head of Fundraising, added,
“We are so grateful to Debenhams and
our brand supporters for this fantastic
start to our partnership and look forward
to further success in 2018.”
