Cancer Research UK is 'the world's leading independent organisation dedicated to cancer research'.[1]
Boots is the official sponsor of Cancer Research UK's SunSmart campaign (aiming to educate about the risks of sun exposure). It has been criticised by the health journalist and author Oliver Gillie who questioned the scientific background of this campaign which has links with commercial organisations with an interest in promoting sun safety: “Last year Cancer Research UK made £84,000 from Boots’ sale of lapel badges for the charity, while Boots made its brand of suncream, Soltan, the UK’s biggest seller" [2]
