The Lions Skin Check and Awareness Unit is coming to Finley this month.
Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, and Lions Clubs in Victoria and Southern NSW are doing something practical about reducing that level and its impact on families.

The incorporated charity, the Lions V Districts Cancer Foundation, has put a Skin Check and Awareness Unit on the road, following excellent financial support from Lions Clubs and generous public and private supporters.
The Lions Club of Finley will host the van on May 20 and 21, in the Endeavour St car park behind Boomerang Motors.
Anyone who visits the van will receive a free skin checking service, by fully trained, certified and professionally supervised volunteers.
The unit will also be a valuable resource for local people to access valuable and timely information about skin care and self-checking techniques.
If the volunteers suspect any spots or lesions, you will be issued a referral to your GP.
The unit is not a medical clinic, so diagnosis or treatment requirements are not discussed.
The airconditioned van has three fully equipped checking rooms and an entry foyer, as well as a disabled lift and entry at the rear.
To book your free check, contact Warwick Douglas on 0427 809 697 or Garry Blackney on 0416 249 507, or email finley.nsw@lions.org.au.
