The SunSmart campaign is run by the HSE’s National Cancer Control Programme (NCCP), in collaboration with Healthy Ireland and cross-sectoral partners. We are working together to support people to reduce their risk of skin cancer by protecting their skin from the sun. This is the third year of the campaign and each year it continues to grow.

The aim of the campaign is to increase awareness of the steps you, your family, friends and colleagues can take to protect your skin from the sun.

The campaign will communicate and engage with the population living in Ireland through multiple communications channels including: radio and digital audio, press, digital content and social media.
