Our purpose at Defining Beauty is to help young women (20 - 40 years of age) face their breast cancer journey with confidence and dignity by helping them take back some control of their appearance and wellbeing during one of the most vulnerable times of their lives. Breast cancer is extremely confronting for any woman to face. While the doctors are doing their best to beat the cancer, we’re left to deal with the side effects that strip us bare. Every woman deserves to look and feel their best at this time, or at the very least have a little help to fake it until they make it! Defining Beauty provides a safe, friendly and informative place during this time and beyond, helping you to take back some control over how you’re feeling – inside and out. Breast cancer attacks everything we’re told defines us as women: our breasts, our hair and our fertility and our self-esteem. Regardless of the changes you experience, it’s important to know that there’s advice and support out there to help you cope. By donating to Defining Beauty, you’re helping us to support more young women through their breast cancer journey. We provide small workshops for women who have had breast cancer or are undergoing active treatments. Our mentoring program connects breast cancer survivors with newly diagnosed women with the aim to uplift, inform and empower them emotionally through this challenging time. The primary focus of all our work is to provide helpful skincare, make-up, scarring and body image advice. We also aim to provide practical guidance around emotional and mental wellbeing, during and after breast cancer.
