Melanoma is a serious form of cancer that arises when the pigment-producing cells in the skin (melanocytes) may display as a mole or lesion that grows, changes shape, or colour.

Brighton Pride 2024

August 2024

On Saturday 3rd August, Melanoma Focus took part in the Brighton & Hove Pride LGBTQ+ Community Parade! We were celebrating diversity and inclusion but also raising important awareness of melanoma skin cancer to over 300k spectators. The atmosphere was incredible and it was great to see people taking an interest and wanting to learn more about melanoma. With our bright attire and lively supporters we made a real impact.

We would like to say a huge thank you to our board of trustees, staff members and fabulous supporters for making this happen. A special thank you to the wonderful Luke Thomas and his friends and family for their support.

We were so proud to be a part of this important event and we feel privileged to have been able to spread our important awareness messages.
