Tenovus was founded in 1943 by ten businessmen, the original ten-of-us. Initially, the charity funded a wide range of projects, but since the 1960s, its focus has been on cancer. This Tenovus Mobile Cancer Support Unit is in the NW corner of a large car park in Parc Nantgarw. Since the launch of the first mobile unit in February 2009, similar facilities have opened in more than 50 locations. Working with Velindre NHS Trust, Tenovus has been delivering chemotherapy and other cancer treatments here and in Cwmbran. During this period, over 1,500 treatments have been provided. The unit is fitted with a satellite dish that allows patients to use telemedicine.
