WHAT WE DO WITH YOUR MONEY
It is vital that we use as much of your donations as possible to pursue the key objectives of Team Verrico. By not taking any salaries and minimising administrative costs, we seek to ensure that as much money raised goes towards great causes.
Research
We receive a number of requests for research grants and assess them as a Trustee team to consider their merits, as well as whether they fit within the objectives of the charity. We have benefited from long-term relationships with a range of innovative research organisations. This year we were able to award research grants amounting to £5,000.
Please keep an eye on our social media streams to find out about the latest projects that are underway.
Support
The charity regularly receives requests for support through its website, social media outlets, or through recommendations and word-of-mouth. The requests for support evidence the impact that cancer can have on families, and how your support can make a massive difference:
-
Practical – requests for cleaners, food packages, as well as assistance with travel and childcare costs whilst undergoing cancer treatment;
-
Medical – arranging for second opinions and consultations for those diagnosed with cancer; and
-
Emotional – we provide a counselling service for those diagnosed with cancer, and family members who may also be affected.

HOW WE RAISE MONEY
Even whilst in and out of various restrictions, our fantastic supporters have found ways to raise money. We are thankful for every single one, including the below!
