At first glance, you might not expect a funeral director to spotlight sun safety—but Doves in Orpington has done just that. In recognition of UV Safety Month, which takes place every July, they’ve transformed their window into a striking public health message about the hidden dangers of UV rays.
From premature ageing to the increased risk of skin cancer, the messaging is clear: protecting yourself against UV exposure is not just a cosmetic concern—it’s a health imperative.
You can explore official NHS guidance on sun safety, including tips on sunscreen, protective clothing, and avoiding sunburn, on their Sunscreen and Sun Safety page. It’s packed with practical advice for both adults and children, especially useful during UV Safety Month.
