Candis has its origins in 1962, when its founder, Joseph K. Douglas, created the Cancer & Polio Research Fund News Letter, to provide updates on the fundraising activities of the related charity that he had founded.
The serial included updates on cancer and polio research activity, together with a football pool and reader competitions.
By 1985 the newsletter had evolved into a magazine format, containing twenty-eight pages and including a free prize draw, which had replaced the long-standing football pool.
Candis members also benefit from the range of special offers and giveaways: travel, car and home insurance, will planning, breakdown and health cover.
