80%
We launched two Centres
in Scotland this year
The Edinburgh Centre
launched in June 2010,
bringing together scientists,
doctors and nurses from
across the city. Researchers
will focus on bowel, breast
and ovarian cancers and build
on existing strengths in
genetics and drug discovery.
The West of Scotland
Cancer Centre (Glasgow),
launched in January 2011,
will enable researchers who
are not usually able to work
together to exchange ideas
and information more easily.
Focusing on research into
bowel cancer and chronic
myeloid leukaemia, it will
promote the very best in
cancer research, drug
discovery and patient care.
It will also bring the latest
cancer treatment and
state-of-the-art facilities
to people living in the area.
20%
We used the 20% left to raise future funds.
In fact for every £1 we spend on fundraising
we raised over £4 more.
Race for Life and our new
fundraising event Shine –
a night-time walking marathon –
raised £60 million for our
life-saving work.
Our total expenditure was
£493 million (2010: £467 million),
a planned draw from our funds to
maintain our annual research activity.
