SUNIRE LIMITED

SUNiRE Limited is a purpose‑driven health‑tech company that supports, nurtures and protects people affected by skin cancer. Through its SUNiRE Protect range, the business offers a specially designed UV‑protective face shield – a product born from founder Linda’s own experience of treating malignant melanoma – and pledges 5 % of each purchase to the Irish Cancer Society (subject to terms and conditions).

Beyond the shield, SUNiRE runs a comprehensive Members Hub that provides evidence‑based courses on melanoma, squamous‑cell carcinoma and basal‑cell carcinoma, an interactive community platform for patients and caregivers, and a forthcoming AI‑powered private space developed with Maynooth University’s Innovation Lab. The hub delivers up‑to‑date information, practical guidance on early detection and strategies for long‑term skin protection, ensuring users never feel alone on their journey.

Founded by art teacher and melanoma survivor Linda, SUNiRE combines personal empathy with cutting‑edge research – published in the Irish Medical Journal and recognised at Pitch Perfect 2025 – to empower anyone concerned about skin cancer with reliable resources, peer support and innovative protection solutions.
