2022 Year in Review

December 2022

This year Melanoma Focus celebrated its 10 year anniversary! We feel proud of all the things that we achieved this year in marking this milestone and look forward to continuing to shape a better future for the melanoma community in 2023. We would like to say a BIG thank you to our team, trustees, fundraisers, Helpline Nurses, patient panel and supporters, without whom our work would not be possible.

We have put together a Year in Review video, you can watch that here.
