28th May 2020

The Public Health Agency (PHA) and Cancer Focus Northern Ireland have developed a short video, ‘Percy Piglet and the Summer’, to educate young children about how to take care in the sun.

Marbeth Ferguson, Skin Cancer Prevention Co-ordinator at Cancer Focus NI, said: “Percy Piglet and the Summer Picnic is a light-hearted film but with an important underlying message.

“They learn how to keep their skin healthy by playing in the shade between 11am and 3pm, covering up with a t-shirt, sunglasses and hat, and applying high protection sunscreen to exposed skin.”
