Tenovus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tenovus is a British cancer research charity. It was established in 1943 by ten businessmen (hence the 'ten-of-us'), and the charity now invests almost £4 million each year on cancer research, patient care, counselling and education.

Tenovus funded scientists are located at Cardiff, Southampton, Liverpool and Bournemouth. Tenovus also funds support and counselling for cancer patients and their families.

Tenovus is funded by charitable donations and the income from its many charity shops around the country.

As fund-raising activities Tenovus also arranges the support of a variety of challenge events from global challeges such as the London Marathon, the National Three Peaks Challenge and parachuting to local events.
