CTFA Annual Report 2022

The lessons are many…Resilience, Creativity, Reflecting, Hope, Faith and Gratitude. Gratitude, especially towards our loyal Members, Sponsors & Donors, who have been committed to the cause by providing funding even during financial tough times. Their funds have helped us to get a great deal of work done with more ease and less stress. Thank you for having faith in our organisation and for understanding and sharing our purpose. We want to thank Adelia Pimentel, Executive Director of CTFA and Board Director of Look Good Feel Better, for initiating and implementing support from CTFA members who agreed to contribute 5% of their CTFA membership fee to the Look Good Feel Better Foundation. Your support has lightened our financial burden and enabled us to expand our program to more hospitals and venues throughout SA. LOOK GOOD FEEL BETTER Y V E T T E P OW E L L | N AT I ON A L P R OG R A MM E M A N A G E R 2022 was a year of extreme challenges for LGFB. The loss of members and sponsorship due to the pandemic had placed a huge financial and operational risk burden on the organization. We had to create and adapt to new ways of learning, working and living our lives amid stresses that we have never experienced before. But for all the hardships we experienced, this year provided us with unique lessons and opportunities. A sincere call to ALL CTFA MEMBERS to support our worthy cause. Looking forward to making a difference together!

We are proud to say that we are still achieving our BEE beneficiary goal with 77% patients in our workshops being BEE candidates. The program is managed by a small team of staff and relies on the support of 120 volunteers who give their time and expertise to help deliver I can only share my conviction that more than ever, LGFB is an important factor of the recovery process, and it is a great pride to be part of it. Among many great achievements, there is one that I believe is paramount and that has changed the future of LGFB: the closer proximity with CTFA and the possibility of LGFB to be completely autonomous from financial standpoint; this reviewed model allows for LGFB to safely plan, organize and deliver its activities in a sustainable way, for the benefits of the patients. This is a fantastic change! - Gilles Antoine, Managing Director of L’Oreál & Chairperson of Look Good Feel Better Foundation - COSMETIC TOILETRY AND FRAGRANCE ASSOCIATION OF SOUTH AFRICA 18
