Donations from sales of monthly family magazine ‘Candis’ have now reached £3 million over the past seven years.

Part of the magazine’s subscription income is donated to health-related charities and Marie Curie Cancer Care receives 43% of these donations.

Candis magazine sells 306,607 copies a month nationwide to members of the ‘Candis Club’.

In addition, Candis Club makes additional contributions of between £100 and £1,000 to support local community groups and projects. These can be anything from clear-up schemes for local parks to redecorating the village hall. Candis Club members are encouraged to propose a project for funding.
