Breast Cancer Research (Scotland)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A defunct cancer charity that was based in Paisley and Glasgow, Scotland. It had its assets frozen in 2003 after a probe found that only £1.5m of the £13m it had raised was donated to charity. The group’s fundraiser, Tony Freeman, of Glasgow, was paid about 60 per cent - some £8 million - of the charity’s cash in commission [1]. Several organisers as well as the fundraiser were barred from running charities in the UK.
