Taranaki Cancer Society Sun Smart Programme Sun Smart logo

 

Sun Smart is a skin cancer prevention and UV protection programme delivering education on how to keep safe from the harmful UV rays during the summer months.  

It is a very important programme in Taranaki as we have one of the highest UV levels in NZ, and indeed the world. Our levels of melanoma and skin cancers are also one of the highest in NZ. 

There is a Sunsmart programme specifically for schools and it can assist schools to achieve Sunsmart accrediation.  Taranaki Cancer Society also work with Local Authorities, workplaces, sports clubs and with people planning community events to develop good UV protection policies and practices.   

Taranaki Cancer Society have resources available for loan such as umbrellas & gazebos. They can also sponsor sunscreen for events that wish to be Sunsmart.  


To book resources or seek assistance with planning a Sunsmart event please contact Taranaki Cancer Society by Email or ring the Taranaki office on 06 757 3006 .
