Description:
Skcin are the UK’s leading skin cancer awareness charity dedicated to the prevention and early detection of both melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer through educational intervention for public benefit. Our mission is to save lives and unnecessary suffering by preventing skin cancer for our future generations, improving prognosis through early detection and reducing the significant burden skin cancer places on the NHS.
Skcin's primary objectives are to:
Raise awareness of skin cancer through education, promoting prevention and early detection.
To engage higher risk target groups via bespoke educational initiatives.
To ensure the continued development, longevity and participation in our national accreditation schemes.
To campaign for change, make a difference and save lives.
Everything we do at Skcin is aimed at educating and raising awareness on the subject of sun safety and the early detection of skin cancers in order to save lives. We are particularly keen to work with 'at risk groups', (those that are particularly susceptible to the dangers of over exposure to UV by the nature of the activities they carry out) and with children where we can see the greatest impact being achievable.
We are always busy developing our comprehensive resources, spreading the sun safety message, distributing literature and running campaigns with our partners.
