Skcin Charity Association

Croda is proud to support the charity Skcin who have a principle objective to ensure that the danger of over-exposure to the sun is given greater profile with the emphasis on education resulting in the vital early detection of skin cancer.

The charity was established when Karen Clifford passed away on New Year's Eve 2005 after a courageous battle against skin cancer. Since the disease was diagnosed, her family were dismayed to discover that while a few specialist organisations existed, there were in fact no specific all encompassing organisations with national aspirations.

Whilst recognising the existence of the excellent annual cancer research UK "Sunsmart" campaigns and the work undertaken by other skin cancer organisations in other parts of the UK, Skcin firmly believe that skin cancer requires a continuous on-going national campaign resulting in a significantly higher profile for the disease targeting all age groups at home and abroad at work and at play.
