Sun cream dispensers for Umina and Ocean Beach

Lions Club representatives hand the unit over to Umina Beach Surf Club members

Peninsula beach-goers will be even more sun safe with the recent delivery of sun cream units to Umina and Ocean Beach Surf Life Saving Clubs.

Donated by Woy Woy Peninsula Lions Club, thanks to a grant from Australian Lions Foundation, the sun cream units automatically dispense sun cream to anyone who requires it whilst swimming or surfing at the beaches.

The units are supported by the Cancer Council and have proved to be highly successful at several locations in Sydney.

The surf clubs will maintain the units, which are battery operated so can be located wherever they can best help members and the general public.

“There are also QR codes and mobile phone numbers on the units should anyone want to know more about Lions and what we do, not only in the local community but worldwide,” a spokesperson said.

“These units cost just on $4,000 and with the 50 per cent grant from Australian Lions Foundation we could afford to purchase two at the same time to make sure the Peninsula has full protection during what is expected to be a very hot Summer.”
