OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Core Objectives

Skcin's core objectives are to raise awareness of both melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer, specifically to promote prevention and early detection through educational intervention for public benefit. The charity has remained committed to these objectives for the past 18 years, which are strategically delivered and achieved by the implementation of our suite of bespoke, national accreditation programmes and educational resources. This ongoing commitment to public benefit through educational intervention on a national scale is clearly demonstrated consistently throughout our activities and achievements.

Our national accreditation programmes have been developed to provide sustainable, nationally accessible intervention across key 'at risk' and 'influential' target audiences to generate impact, provide measured outcomes and assist us in our mission to plant skin cancer prevention and early detection into the heart of communities nationwide. Skcin feel it important to add valuable narrative explaining the accreditation programmes as they are core to our work and continue to generate impact year on year. Throughout 2024 Skcin have been dedicated to:

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Significant activities

Sun Safe Schools | A free national accreditation programme for UK primary schools Sunsafeschools.co.uk

The Sun Safe Schools national accreditation programme developed by Skcin, launched in 2012 to assist primary schools in their duty of care to safeguard children against over-exposure to UV radiation and prevent skin cancer through education. By embedding sun safe teachings and practices into primary education, the key objective of the programme is to influence behaviours, prevent skin cancer for our future generations and raise awareness across wider school communities nationwide. As pioneers in educational intervention in this field, Skcin are proud to be the first ever charity to develop a comprehensive accreditation programme that subsequently lead us to introduce the same concept across further key 'at risk' and influential' target audiences. The Sun Safe Schools programme provides schools with comprehensive FREE resources to assist them in their duty of care to deliver the following criteria: PROTECTION: providing an environment that enables children and staff to stay safe in the sun. EDUCATION: learning about sun safety to increase knowledge and influence behaviour.

COLLABORATION: working with parents, the management structure and the wider community to reinforce awareness about skin cancer and the importance of sun safety.

Expert support is provided to schools year on year as the charity witnesses increasing demand. In addition, Skcin support parents/patients experiencing challenges with schools by mediating and intervening to support school leadership teams. Due to our dedication and commitment Skcin have become a well-established and trusted resource for school settings in this sector.

2024 Update

Despite a particularly cold and wet Spring and Summer which can dramatically impact uptake, 2024 saw more than 250 new schools register with the programme to access resources with a potential reach of over 68,000 children / families nationwide. Around 45% of schools actively engaged with the accreditation process by providing feedback to Skcin on the completion of various steps required with a measured outcome reach of 25,671 pupils/families. We are pleased with this healthy uptake of new settings taking part alongside schools renewing their annual accreditation.

Skcin continue to work hard to engage stakeholders such as local Councils and school academies to help signpost the accreditation. The charity also engages with schools via online led community forums, specialist PHSE lead networks and Healthy Schools programmes to further promote the accreditation and encourage participation nationally.

Skcin continue to support school settings and parents navigating complex issues surrounding sun protection policies, providing clear advice and rationale to support settings in adopting and successfully implementing our robust sun protection policy.

The charity continues to receive hundreds of highly positive reviews each year from the schools that take part in the accreditation which are testament to the success of the programme. This feedback is essential in providing evidence of how the programme is positively impacting settings across the UK - not only with regards to children, but with parents, teachers, staff and wider school communities:

"We have used the assembly and wide range of resources, lesson plans and activities throughout the school from Nursery to Year 6. The resources are child friendly, user friendly and very informative in a fun and balanced way. The children have all engaged with the resources, they have developed a good understanding about safe and unsafe exposure to the sun and can talk clearly about the Five S's of sun safety. The children frequently ask about the UV level and check the posters each break time. They have embraced the lessons and activities especially going on a shade hunt. Our appointed sun safe ambassadors have taken their responsibilities seriously, they check the UV level on the website and then change the posters accordingly. They proudly wear their sun safe hats! The parents have been positive and supportive of the policy- sending the children in with sun cream, bucket hats and sunglasses.

The accreditation process has been excellent, from our very first meeting it has all been very informative and supportive. The resources are impressive, with a wide range of activities covering the whole of the primary age range. As a school we have really benefitted from this accreditation process, we have really put sun safety at the forefront of children's, parents and staff minds! It is such a serious, important health topic and we want the children to develop the life long skills for keeping healthy while still enjoying being outdoors." St Teresas Roman Catholic Primary School, Greater Manchester

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Sun safe Nurseries

A free national accreditation programme for Nurseries and Pre-School Settings www.sunsafenurseries.co.uk

The Sun Safe Nurseries accreditation programme developed by Skcin, launched following the success of the Sun Safe Schools programme and in identifying the need for early years settings to have a similar accreditation in place to protect and educate early learners. The programme provides settings with free access to comprehensive resources to enable them to implement a suitable sun protection policy, communicate with parents to gain the required level of support, introduce sun safe messaging to early learners and raise awareness of skin cancer prevention across their stakeholder communities.

2024 Update

Our Sun Safe Nurseries accreditation programme has seen healthy growth year-on-year with 2024 witnessing 410 new registrations to access resources - a potential reach of 30,762 early learners and their families. 188 settings fully completed the accreditation process by providing feedback evidence on the completion of each step required with a confirmed, measured outcome reach of over 14,000 children and families nationwide. As with the school's programme, continual management and support has been provided over the year and we continue to receive a substantial stream of highly positive feedback daily during the spring and summer months as settings complete and/or renew the annual accreditation process:

"Staff knowledge is stronger, we are confident we provide the best sun care procedures we can, which parents have also taken on board and follow - including requests for protective clothing and sunscreen. Children are being educated form a young age on the importance of being sun safe and it is now embedded in our teaching thanks to the amazing resources you provide."

Copper Beeches Day Nursery, Cheshire

Sun Safe Workplaces

A national accreditation programme for employers of outdoor workers www.sunsafeworkplaces.co.uk

Skcin have been providing comprehensive, trusted advice to employers of outdoor workers since the launch of our national Sun Safe Workplaces Accreditation programme in 2014. We provide extensive resources and guidance to many businesses trying to navigate the complex world relating to their moral and legal obligations to protect and educate their outdoor workers who are up to 60% greater risk of developing skin cancer.

2024 Update

2024 saw the soft launch of our brand new accreditation programme comprising an updated offering for employers of outdoor workers and HSRs. Developments introduced a digital training programme that can be effectively managed internally, enabling hosted training in face-to-face group sessions, in addition to facilitating remote training to support the needs of individual organisations. Additional developments include the introduction of digital solar UVR Risk Assessments and Sun Protection Polices in addition to a wide range of bespoke, supportive resources to provide workplaces with ongoing visual and educational reinforcement. Developments also include a comprehensive administration panel for registered organisations, enabling them to efficiently manage all aspects of the accreditation criteria. In addition, the implementation of metrics and reporting data derived from employee training will provide both individual organisations and Skcin with vital insights with which to evaluate programme effectives with measured outcomes.

The programme gained significant interest, including a partnertship with SIG Roofing that alongside an award winning awareness campaign saw the company train all their staff across 107 branch networks nationwide via the programme and complete their Sun Safe Workplaces Accreditation.

Skcin would like to reiterate our special thanks to The David Price Melanoma Trust for their continued support with the build of the new Sun Safe Workplaces website which was kindly funded by the Trust.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

MASCED (Melanoma and Skin Cancer Early Detection)A national training programme for hair, health and beauty industry professionals.MASCED.UK The award winning MASCED accreditation programme developed by Skcin launched in January 2018 as a completely unique, nationally accessible intervention to educate hair, health and beauty industry professionals how to spot suspicious / potentially cancerous lesions that may be observed on their clients' skin. The objective of the accreditation is to significantly raise awareness of the early signs and symptoms of both melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer across this vast and highly influential target sector, promoting early diagnosis and treatment to improve patient outcomes and save lives. Professionals who work across these industries are uniquely placed to observe changes that may occur on their clients' skin, particularly in areas they can't see themselves, making them powerful advocates in the fight against skin cancer. The training has been reviewed by professional dermatologists and is supported, officially recognised and/or endorsed or accredited by the following key industry bodies: HABIA (Hair and Beauty Industry Authority - worth 3 CPD) BABTAC (British Association of Beauty Therapists and Cosmetologists) NHBF (National Hair and Beauty Federation) BBC (British Beauty Council) and the FHT (Federation of Holistic Therapists). 2024 Update Uptake of the MASCED Training continues to steadily increase year on year with 2024 witnessing over 1,000 new registrations for the MASCED training, resulting in 620 hair, health and beauty industry professionals completing the full course an becoming accredited in that year. This brings our YTD to: >19,000 registered professionals, >11,000 fully accredited professionals nationwide.Witnessing increasing demand, registrations span more than 30 different industry professions and continued growth in global appeal with our data showing professionals have undertaken the training from 28 different countries across the globe. The programme consistently receives 5 star testimonials from our army of trained professionals, who must provide feedback as part of gaining their accreditation, allowing us to monitor programme effectiveness, maintain best practice and evaluate outcomes. In 2024, positive feedback remained consistent, with 99.6% of professionals stating they would recommend the training to others and an average star rating of 4.9Throughout 2024 all service users/learners have continued to be fully supported in addition to ongoing promotional activity and relationship building undertaken by Skcin to encourage and enhance collaborations and uptake, which is cru cial to it's ongoing success.

Engaging with universities, colleges and training academies to train emerging industry professionals, in addition to maintaining and forging relationships with key industry partners and attending high profile industry events has been key to securing ongoing support to drive engagement and participation.

The training is well-known and respected within the beauty sector and Skcin are regularly requested to speak at industry events, conferences and seminars as outlined in the activity report.

As a result of the training programme, Skcin continue to receive hundreds of successful early detection reports from industry professionals, providing vital data that highlights the impact of our innovative, life-saving educational solution in this highly influential sector.

MACSCED PRO - (Melanoma and Skin Cancer Early Detection)

A national training programme for medical & healthcare practitioners and Allied Healthcare Professionals

pro.masced.uk

Following the success of the MASCED training, it became increasingly apparent that there was a considerable void in such training made available to the healthcare sector. With an evident lack of adequate skin cancer specific training for GPs and Allied Healthcare professionals, Skcin set upon developing a solution specifically aimed at filling this void - launching the MASCED PRO training programme in 2019.

The award winning training was reviewed by the British Association of Dermatologists (BAD), the British Dermatology Nursing Group (BDNG) and the British Association of Skin Cancer Nurse Specialists (BASCNS) all of whom provided hugely positive and supportive feedback. The training programme was also submitted to the Royal College of Podiatry for their extensive review, achieving official endorsement as an accredited course with CPD in 2020.

2024 Update

Over 450 healthcare professionals registered with the programme in 2024, and 230 professionals fully completed the training course, bringing our YTD to: 1,787 certified health professionals.

Throughout the year Skcin have proactively worked with supportive organisations, third party training providers and universities to help route the training to the right audiences, in addition to attending key exhibitions and events to promote the programme as outlined in the activity report.

Throughout 2024 we continued to receive hugely positive feedback from accredited professionals 99.5% of which state they would recommend the training to other professionals, providing an average star rating of 4.8.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Skcin Shop

Skcin's online store provides a one-stop shop for anyone in need of educational resources. The shop has become increasingly popular year-on-year providing an array of bespoke resources, tailored to suit the needs and requirements of varied audiences, which is crucial in raising awareness nationally.

Without doubt, our most popular resource is our 'Sun Safety and Skin Cancer' booklets that contain a wealth of information about causes, risk factors, prevention, skin checking and the early detection of both melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer. These are supplied in boxes of 350 units and are widely sourced each year, largely by the NHS and healthcare organisations nationwide. On average Skcin print and distribute circa 90,000 copies annually - having distributed over 900,000 copies to date.

Further bespoke educational and awareness resources are purchased from workplaces, schools, nurseries and our MASCED accredited professionals to create in-salon/clinic displays helping to raise awareness across the communities in which they operate. The huge demand for our resources highlights that we are the UK lead for public information.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

The Skcin App - app.skcin.org

2021 saw the exciting launch of our innovative Skcin App. The app was developed in response the emerging needs of beneficiaries during the COVID 19 pandemic and the digital mobile health revolution.

Our objective was to provide the public with a comprehensive, educational and self-management mobile app that would empower people of all skin types to learn more and take charge of their skin health and surveillance - helping to prevent skin cancer, improve patient outcomes through early diagnosis and save lives.

2024 Update

Throughout 2024, the app has been extremely well received achieving steady growth down to consistent, effective marketing and promotion within our printed literature, via commercial partnerships, through our accreditation programmes, across our social media platforms and at events & exhibitions.

2024 witnessed incredible growth for the app with a massive 6,389 registrations and 5,543 installations recorded that year, largely due to unexpected plugs and rave reviews from Skcin supporter Chris Evans on Virgin Radio in April.

Aside from direct public engagement, the app continues to provide a beneficial supportive resource for healthcare professionals, commonly signposted by dermatologists and skin cancer specialist nurses who lack the time to effectively educate the growing number of skin cancer patients on the prevention and early detection of skin cancer and are in need of a solution to provide a more comprehensive alternative to paper booklets/handouts.

The Skcin Website - Skcin.org

During 2024, work continued on the new Skcin website to improve functionality, build on educational content and provide a plethora of digital recourses for public benefit. The build of the new Skcin website has been kindly funded by the David Price Melanoma Trust and is due to launch in Q1 of 2025.

Additional Activities:

MAY 2024 (National Skin Cancer Awareness Month)

Although Skcin consider every month to be 'Skin Cancer Awareness Month' May is now widely recognised as an official, national awareness month in the UK. As with previous years, May 2024 witnessed a healthy increase in appetite for our resources, expertise and services across the board. Annually this requires a great deal of preparation and added support in place to ensure stakeholders and the public are supported accordingly.

Cancer Alliances, Integrated Care Boards, NHS Trusts and local Councils were also supported with an array of assets, physical resources and furnished with our prevention and early detection communications Toolkit.

Despite an exceptionally cold and wet Spring, which can significantly impact engagement - in the month of May 2024 Skcin achieved:

100 Miles in May Annual Fundraiser

For the fifth consecutive year, Skcin partnered with fellow research and patient-led charity Melanoma Focus for our annual 100 Miles in May Fundraiser which supports both charities 50/50 with any funds raised. Skcin delivered a social media campaign to promote the fundraiser and liaised closely with all participants providing assets, resources and support throughout the challenge.

VAT Burn Campaign

SKCIN remain proactive supporters of the VAT Burn campaign as a lead charity that represents the fight against both melanoma AND non-melanoma skin cancer. The campaign has seen a growing number of charities, cross-party politicians and medical professionals join forces to call on Government to abolish VAT on factor 30+ sunscreen. We believe sunscreen is an essential health item that should not be classed as a luxury. Making high factor sunscreen more affordable for everyone will not only help reduce the rising incidence of the UK's most common cancer, but will help relieve the significant burden it places on our NHS. In addition to supporting this call, Skcin are strongly advocating for a vital, dual approach to reduced taxation and education to be taken by government to ensure effective outcomes.

Following on from efforts in 2023, In January 2024 Skcin wrote to 18 cross-party leads highlighting the true facts, financial burden and associated benefits of zero rating high factor sunscreen. We continued with significant work in engaging with retailers and trade bodies, in addition to securing support from Beauty Industry leads including: The British Beauty Council, BABTAC and CIBTAC, HABIA and the NHBF. With a growing number of individuals, brands and organisations campaigning towards this common goal, we remain committed to supporting united efforts.

Social Media

Social media has become one of the most effective means to raise awareness and Skcin see a very healthy annual uptake in followers and engagement each year with 2024 no exception. Many of our followers are passionate about skin health and share our diverse and comprehensive educational posts widely. Skcin have the largest number of followers across Instagram and facebook combined in comparison to any other UK skin cancer or melanoma charity.

Public Engagement Events

In 2024 Skcin attended the following events to exhibit, facilitate speaker slots, attend meetings and/or deliver awareness or training:

Additional Activities :

Media and PR

Despite having no dedicated PR / media support, Skcin continue to generate significant media content and support all requests for interviews and quotes to ensure skin cancer has a greater profile. We frequently write, contribute to, and/or comment on a variety of articles for various printed and digital publications for national, local and industry specific media that helps us to raise awareness of skin cancer prevention and early detection and the wide range of educational solutions and supportive resources we offer. We also regularly undertake radio and TV interviews commonly requested throughout the Spring and Summer months, consistently reacting to and advising on current news stories and awareness initiatives.

From patients and clinicians, to trainers and influencers, our Ambassadors come in many forms to support us in our mission to educate the nation and achieve our goals. All our Ambassadors are supported by the team throughout the year.

2024 SUMMARY

2024 was another proactive year for the charity that we believe clearly demonstrates our commitment to fulfilling our charitable objectives. We remain committed to developing and enhancing our service offering for the purpose of public benefit.
