The recent workshop at the Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre - called Look Good, Feel Good - was the first face-to-face gathering in 18 months.

The event took the women through steps and techniques to walk away feeling better about themselves.

"It was a nice day to connect with people who are on the same journey as you at some stage, new or long-standing," Ms Kirk-Sheehan said.

"It helps your own mental capacity learning how to cover up blemishes and pamper ourselves."

Volunteer Caroline Sale said the workshop was purely a "non-medical day".

"The day is to make them look good, and when you look good you feel better," she said.

"They all walked out with a smile on their face."
