Our Achievements

In 2022, Antoinette Sulfaro & Grace Newcombe envisaged an not-for-profit organisation that would positively influence the way women with cancer are supported by the local community.

Our goal is for people to talk openly about cancer and acknowledge its enormous personal impact with a community who can stand together as one during a cancer diagnosis.

Ladies Like To Lunch Limited continues to work towards helping people affected by cancer accessing the best information, treatment, care, funding and support.

Our Care Packages now go directly to Liverpool Cancer Therapy Centre reaching more women than ever before.

How It All Began

Founded in 2014 by Carla Filipakis and Katrine Oliveri started Ladies Like To Lunch Fundraising Group whom both had the same philosophy to make a difference for women in the Liverpool and Fairfield community as they had been affected by cancer in one way or another. Their mission was to educate other women about women's cancers and support Cancer Council NSW's work by hosting Pink Ribbon events.
