Sun Safety
Too much exposure to the sun's harmful rays can do serious damage to your body. Skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer in the UK, with thousands of new cases diagnosed every year. Spending even just a short time in the sun can lead to sun burn, heat exhaustion and even sun stroke which in some cases leads to illness and possible death.
Remember Slip, Slap, Slop
It is also a good idea to avoid exposure to sun during the hottest part of the day 10am-3pm and take advantage of shade when possible. It is important to remember to keep hydrated with plenty of water and protect your eyes with a good pair of sunglasses offering 100% UV protection.
