The Hello Beautiful Foundation is a UK based Cancer prevention charity that resides within London's Bloomsbury.
Hello Beautiful explores the issues that arise when we or our loved ones are faced with cancer and the importance that Non-Toxic Practice has in this reality.
Their exhibits, talks, classes and other awareness campaigns are designed to highlight the benefits of living a healthy Non-Toxic Lifestyle — an experience that starts with mindfulness and extends into nutrition and social responsibility.
An artistic concept that aims to strip out the negative energy associated with breast cancer and in turn highlight the beauty that can be found within this struggle.

Women for Women work with women the world forgets — women survivors of war and conflict. Through in-depth assessments, they find ultra-poor and vulnerable women then meet them where they are.
When conflict is over, the world’s attention moves—but women are left without basic resources like food, water, and safety in communities that put their needs and voice last. Using a gendered graduation approach, Women for Women invest in women’s skills, connections, and resources to rebuild their families and communities together.

AMMA trains and employs mothers living in the Sri Lankan highlands to turn food waste and plants into natural dyes. Sustainable textiles that are ethically handmade.
The mothers they employ come from the tea estates that surround the workshop. They are from low income backgrounds but are now principle contributors to the household finances, and are becoming role models within their communities.
The mothers at AMMA make WW's beautiful cotton pouches, dyed in avocado pit waste, to create gorgeous soft pink pouches to protect the b’e bottles.
The guest: Essentials by Zoe
When Zoe's mother was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer in December 2014 she began extensive research into the wide-range of complementary therapies described in scientific journals. One of the topics that stood out from the research was the role of essential oils during cancer treatment, and the importance of a healthy functioning lymphatic system, for which lymph and breast massage play an important role. Having studied the science behind the key ingredients, Zoe and her late mother began experimenting with different recipes and combinations, eventually creating a truly soothing essential oil blend.
Zoe’s mother passed away gracefully over a year later, making the message more clear:
“All women, young and old, must make checking their breasts part of their beauty and selfcare ritual.”
