Today Jane Stevenson met survivors supporting charities, including Melanoma Focus, Melanoma Fund and Skcin, during Melanoma Awareness Month to raise awareness of rising skin cancer rates and to urge people to stay safe in the sun.
Commenting, Jane said:
"As we enjoy longer days and warmer weather, it is good to remind everyone about skin safety.
Skcin run free courses to learn more about skin safety, and I'll be connecting them to groups in Wolverhampton who may benefit from this such as schools, sports clubs and other groups who meet outdoors."
Marie Tudor, CEO of Skcin said:
“ We represent the fight against both melanoma and non melanoma skin cancer. With 1 in 5 diagnosed at least once in their lifetime and 90% of cases preventable, we are pleased to have the support of MPs in raising awareness of the dangers of UV exposure and the importance of sun protection. Education is without doubt our greatest weapon against the disease and we believe a dual approach to reduced taxation and sustainable education is critical in driving much needed behavioural change and saving lives."
