It was great to work with our lovely supporter Charlotte and Weston Park Cancer Charity on this great initiative. The Big Purple Bus was in the centre of Sheffield today promoting sun safety and educating the public about skin cancer. We are extremely grateful to Charlotte whose determination to make a difference is truly inspiring. Thank you to the guys at Weston Park Cancer Charity for making this happen. Together we can make a difference! 💙 #melanoma #skincancer #sunsafety #sheffield #skincancerawareness

We are extremely saddened to hear about the passing of Professor Jeff Weber. His work has influenced the future of melanoma oncology and personalised vaccines. Just this year we were very fortunate to hear him speak at our healthcare professional regional meeting. Our thoughts are with this family and friends at this time.

📣 The Liberal Democrats have called on the Government to cut VAT on high-factor sunscreen in an effort to tackle rates of skin cancer. Lib Dem spokeswoman Daisy Cooper said: “We are seeing people up and down the country left waiting far too long for the care they need. This recent hot weather should serve as a stark reminder that skin cancer services are in desperate need of support and the staggering increase in referrals shows we must do more to prevent people from getting skin cancer in the first place. That means making it affordable for people to protect themselves from skin cancer by cutting VAT on high-factor protective sunscreen and securing a public commitment from major retailers that they will pass on the financial benefit to consumers.” Our research found that 1 in 10 people aren’t wearing sunscreen at all because it is too expensive. We have been campaigning alongside other charities, cross-party politicians and many medical professionals to ask the Government to abolish VAT on factor 30+ sunscreen. We are delighted to hear this news today and hope that our Government take action!
