10 Rock for a Cause: Bands Unite to Support Christmas Food Box Appeal On the back of high inflation and the current cost of living crisis, people across Australia are being forced to ration food to afford other essential items, according to the Australian Council of Social Services (ACOSS). In an attempt to help support the Northern Gold Coast Emergency Community Care Programme to provide Christmas food boxes to those in need in our community, two awesome bands have come together to host this exciting afternoon event. Both bands are performing free of charge, with all profit from ticket sales being donated to the Christmas food box appeal. The event is being hosted in conjunction with the Coomera River Rotary Club. Come along and support this exciting event, including Revolution Rock a Tribute to THE CLASH & Setting sons a Tribute to the JAM.

Sunscreen is your first line of defence against the sun, offering protection from both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin, causing premature aging and wrinkles, while UVB rays affect the outer layers, leading to sunburn and an increased risk of skin cancer. Mineral sunscreens, which use natural minerals like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, physically block and reflect UV rays, making them perfect for sensitive skin. Always aim for broad-spectrum sunscreens, which protect against both UVA and UVB rays, and use a high SPF to ensure maximum protection. Beyond sunscreen, wearing protective clothing like longsleeved shirts, hats, and sunglasses is essential. Seek shade, especially during peak UV hours between 10am and 4pm and avoid tanning beds. Regularly monitor your skin for any changes, such as new moles or spots, and consult a dermatologist if you notice anything suspicious. In conclusion, by prioritising sun safety, you not only protect your skin but also enhance your overall well-being. By taking these proactive steps, you can significantly reduce your risk of skin cancer and keep your skin looking youthful and vibrant. Stay sun safe and enjoy the great outdoors responsibly!
