North West Cancer Research Fund is appealing for gyms and spas across the region to remove their sunbeds.
And we need your help!
By signing this petition you are saying that you don't want sunbeds available for use in gyms and health centres.
“We are challenging gyms and spas across the North West to remember that they are in the health business and offering the use of sunbeds is a complete contradiction in terms.
"We are encouraging gyms and spas across the north west to sign up to our campaign and join the battle against skin cancer.” Anne Jackson, Chief Executive
The Facts
• More than a quarter of a million 11 to 17 year olds are risking their health by using sunbeds.
• The risk of cancerous melanomas is increased by 75% when the use of tanning devices starts before 30 years of age.
• International Agency for Research on Cancer’s categorise sunbed use with the same risk factor as smoking cigarettes.
We need as many signatures as possible to help North West Cancer Research Fund show gym and health centre owners throughout the North West that sunbeds are not wanted.
