The Colin Bloomfield Sun Safe Campaign
To mark ten years since our presenter Colin Bloomfield died from melanoma skin cancer, we're trying to make Derbyshire and East Staffordshire some of the most sun safe places in the country.
We're continuing Colin’s legacy of educating people young and old to stay safe in the sun. We're doing this by helping to make schools Sun Safe and teaching people about how to check their skin.

Join us at a free skin educational event and meet a Dermatologist from University Hospitals of Derby and Burton.
Date: Wednesday 3 September Venue: Derby Arena between 11:00 and 14:30.
Our Guinness World record attempt
Our appeal has seen 2,500 blankets distributed to those who most need them this winter.
As a way of marking this fantastic achievement, and thanking those involved, we were successful to getting into the Guiness World Record Book for the most people crocheting simultaneously.
960 people took part at Derby Arena in February.
Thank - you and well done.
