GAA promotion of Sun Safety

Ulster GAA has teamed up with Ulster Cancer Foundation to promote sun safety during the sun-drenched Championship season.

Ulster Cancer Foundation has kindly provided sachets of sun cream at Ulster GAA Championship matches and the sun safety campaign was also brought to Divis Mountain in Belfast during the 2010 Ulster Poc Fada.

The message in these hot, sunny days to: regularly apply sunscreen, wear a hat and drink plenty of water is being heard loud and clear by Gaels across Ulster.

At the GAA Cúl Camps this message will once again be pushed to ensure that children and young people are aware of the dangers of exposure to the sun.

The well established partnership between Ulster GAA and Ulster Cancer Foundation has meant that this campaign has been hugely successful and will hopefully continue throughout the summer and in years to come.
