I am delighted to announce yet another collaboration for the Melanoma Fund. Following discussions with Matt Dando-Thompson Criced Cymru / Cricket Wales now features the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) guidance document we created with the national governing body, around sun protection for cricket coaches, PLUS our Sunguarding course link onto the pathway section of their website. This may seem like a small step, however this is another brick removed from the wall blocking awareness of Sunguarding in sport. Another brick which could represent a life saved from melanoma. Thank you Matt. #melanomaawareness #sunprotectioninsport #Sunguarding #skincancerawareness https://lnkd.in/daRrs6-Y

Sunguarding is vital to all who enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle, so we're collaborating with the Melanoma Fund to raise awareness of the dangers of the sun. It's vital that those who work with others outdoors are educated around how to effectively provide adequate sun protection throughout the summer. The sport and leisure sector must be aware and vigilant of the risk of skin cancer. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e8-7Mh3D Sport Wales Michelle Baker☀️

If you work for an outdoor organisation, what does your sun protection strategy look like? With sunburn fast becoming an unacceptable outcome of organised outdoor activity, it is vital that NGBs protect the reputation, and support education of their affiliated outdoor leaders. I am proud to say that the Melanoma Fund has teamed with Paddle UK to do just that. #Sunguardingsport For further details click the link: https://lnkd.in/dZwHatCN

Don't let the sun turn your sport into a silent killer. #GoodAdsMatter Earlier this year, Melanoma Fund kicked off an eye-opening campaign just in time for the summer sports season. Titled “Silhouettes”, this powerful initiative vividly illustrates how unprotected moles can morph into deadly melanomas. By shaping these melanomas to mirror the outline of various sports and placing them on parts of the body where melanoma is typically found, the campaign brought a fresh perspective to sun safety. The message was clear: neglecting sun protection while enjoying outdoor sports can be fatal. Despite being nearly 100% curable at stage one, melanoma is one of the deadliest cancers, claiming over 2,300 lives annually in the UK alone. Accompanied by the commanding message, “check and protect your skin from melanoma this summer,” and striking visual images, the campaign hammered home the critical need for sun safety.

“I really enjoyed the course, it helped remind me of my responsibilities and to be explicit in my role modeling as a coach. I learned several new things to apply in my outdoor sessions and found the UV index a great help. I am more sun aware and as a result, so are my players”. Chris Chapman Learning Experience Manager, UK Coaching Sunburn is no longer an acceptable outcome of any organised outdoor activity, and rightly so. If you run outdoor sessions, you must protect those in your care and yourself. Find out why over 1,000 learners have taken the Melanoma Fund's FREE course, and why Sunguarding is rapidly becoming THE buzzword in sports. #sportscoaching #sportscoaches #outdooractivitiesforkids #outdooractivity #outdoorsports #educationmatters #skincancerawareness #melanomaawareness https://lnkd.in/e5QmkTZk
