TENOVUS CANCER CARE

TENOVUS CANCER CARE is a Welsh cancer charity incorporated in Cardiff in December 1968, structured as a private limited company by guarantee. It held a UK Gambling Commission licence for nearly a decade, running fundraising gambling activity in support of its charitable mission.

Positive Signals

  • Incorporated since 1968 — over 57 years of continuous active status
  • Company score 100 / A+ — highest possible Saferwager corporate health grade
  • 11 UK-resident directors — fully domestically governed
  • Active status confirmed on Companies House
  • PSC exemption filed — transparent charitable ownership structure

Concerns

  • UKGC licence surrendered — no longer an active licensed gambling operator

Overview

Gambling Connection: TENOVUS CANCER CARE held a UK Gambling Commission licence from September 2016 until it was surrendered, covering an estimated 9.4 years of licensed fundraising gambling activity. The licence has since been surrendered and the charity no longer appears as an active UKGC operator.

TENOVUS CANCER CARE is one of Wales's longest-established cancer charities, with over 57 years of continuous operation since its incorporation on 3 December 1968. The charity is structured as a private limited company by guarantee with limited exemption, a common legal form for UK charities that removes personal liability for members. Its registered office sits in Cardiff, and it operates exclusively within the United Kingdom.

The company scores 100 out of 100 (grade A+) on Saferwager's corporate health assessment. That reflects a long and unbroken active status, full UK-resident governance, clean compliance filings, and a PSC exemption statement consistent with a charitable structure where no single individual or entity holds significant control. It's a well-governed organisation by every measurable indicator.

TENOVUS CANCER CARE's gambling connection is historical rather than ongoing. It held a UKGC operator licence from September 2016 and surrendered it after around nine years, likely winding down a charity lottery or similar fundraising product. That's a straightforward and common arrangement for UK charities seeking to run regulated fundraising draws.

Governance

TENOVUS CANCER CARE has a large board of 11 current directors, all UK-resident, which is typical for a charity of this size and age. The company has filed a PSC exemption statement confirming no individual or entity with significant control, consistent with a charitable guarantee structure where members rather than shareholders hold the company.
