Melanoma Fund - Trustees Report for year ended October 1[st] - 2021
Registered Charity 1085969
The Melanoma Fund raises awareness of melanoma and other forms of skin cancer in sport outdoor recreation via four national prevention campaigns. These highly targeted initiatives focus on those who are at high risk from over-exposure to UV light, promoting the importance of protection, prevention, and early detection of melanoma and other forms of skin cancer.
All four of our campaigns can be found on www.melanoma-fund.co.uk with three offering accreditations, to ensure that we can monitor uptake and impact. As a highly proactive charity, we strive to ensure that we retain, maintain, and continually expand upon our support from leading sport and outdoor activity organisations, allowing us to reach a highly targeted audience, without having to rely on marketing.
Sunguarding Sport
This is our newest campaign, launched in 2022 and currently backed by over 60 national governing bodies, including Sport England, Sport Wales, Sport NI, and the Activity Alliance, to raise awareness of sun protection in sport and outdoor recreation at club level and beyond.
Sportspeople receive substantially higher UV exposure, and routinely exceed the recommended exposure limits, increasing their risk of skin cancer. Factors such as sweating, water contact, minimal clothing, and lack of shade, make it even more important, however, only 50% sun protect when exercising outdoors.
We have worked with Professor Brian Diffey and NGBs to create our guidelines and sport specific advice for all who participate, official or spectate.
Outdoor Kids Sun Safety Code
Partnered with the Youth Sport Trust, Association for Physical Education (AfPE), Child Protection in Sport Unit (NSPCC) and Coaching UK, it is supported by over 120 national governing bodies of sport and most of the UK's leading outdoor and coaching organisations.
The launch of the Sun-Sorted! campaign last year has provided us with a project which has ensured more children are able to discover why sun protection is important, which is vital in creating health habits. The Sun-Sorted! quiz has been an on-going success, and ha to date been taken by over 600 groups and clubs and individuals, reaching thousands of KS2 children.
Slip! Slap! Swing! sun protection campaign for golf
This is the only sun protection campaign in the UK for golf. We have the support of England Golf, Scottish Golf, Wales Golf, the GCMA, The PGA, the Golf Society of Great Britain, The R&A, the Golf Industries Association and many more, all of whom agreed to endorse the campaign, offering the potential to reach and impact the UKs 4 million golfers.
The aim was to educate all golfers, who are specifically at high risk of skin cancer due to their playing habits, on the importance of sun protection and early detection of melanoma and other skin cancers. The campaign was supported and promoted widely by our partners and the specific guidelines written by a team of leading melanoma experts.
This year, we revised the format and created a subscription format for golf clubs, tournaments and golf tour operators, with a small fee of £49, we aim to get more clubs acting on their pledges.
We are repeating the success of our Slip! Slap! Swing! in September charity golf, which took place as Mannings Health Golf Club last year. The 2022 event will be held at Faversham Golf Club, to not only raise funds for the charity, but generate vital awareness of our campaign’s objectives.
Watch Your Back!
The campaign is partnered with the Garden Centre Association, the Professional Gardeners Guild, The National Allotment Society, GIMA and the HTA, and is supported by 9 leading celebrity gardeners including Alan Titchmarsh, Charlie Dimmock, Andy Sturgeon, David Stevens, Joe Swift, Adam Frost, David Domoney, Anne Swithinbank and Toby Buckland.
This year we have again promoted the importance of sun protection to our garden centre supporters to ensure that they become Sun Protection Accredited to our campaign, helping them protect both staff and customers alike.
Summary
We have had a challenging but productive year, working hard to bring in new campaigns and ensure that all our existing campaigns expand and create impact on melanoma and achieve our objectives. Our new CRM systems are fully operational with steady communication to our stakeholders,, and our databases are managed well and with relevant compliance policies in place.
With new, pared down team of supportive trustees, we are confident that we are moving forward, able to scale in line with our ambitions and have a growing support network of fundraisers to sustain our activities.
We rely on donations from the public and from pharmaceutical grant funding which helps us with our work on a national level. If you want to get involved, want to hear more about what we do or simply wish to donate, please visit www.melanoma-fund.co.uk or contact michelle@melanomafund.co.uk
