Sun Safety Awareness Event

May 2025

We recently had the privilege of teaming up with the lovely guys at Weston Park Cancer Charity and Charlotte Killeya to host a melanoma awareness event at Sheffield Cathedral.

Teams from both charities shared information about melanoma signs and symptoms and gave advice on how to stay sun safe.
We had healthcare professionals on hand to share further information and answer questions.
Thanks to Eau Thermale Avène and La Roche-Posay members of the public were given sunscreen samples.

Susanna Daniels, CEO said:

“We were delighted to once again work with Charlotte and Weston Park Cancer Charity to bring crucial melanoma information to Sheffield city centre.”
