## **CORPORATE ALLIANCES**
We have had the privilege of working with a number of organisations that help us achieve our objectives. These alliances have become even more important as we all deal with the end of the Cost of Living Crisis. We wish to say a massive ‘thank you’ to all of them.
Over the last year, these organisations have included:
## Eversheds Sutherland
An ever-present support for Team Verrico, Eversheds Sutherland has a plethora of fundraisers within its mix.
## Tape2Tape Events
Our strong links to running remained as we were supported by Tape2Tape events who allowed us to be part of their excellent events, including the North Lincs Half Marathon.

We have been amazed by those that have helped us during the Cost of Living Crisis!.
## Ey Up Me Duck Festival
The festival has supported Team Verrico for four years and will continue to do so in 2024.
Over the last year we have also been able to distribute medical supplies / personal care packs and weekly food support packages because of the help of our supporters.

## **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 received a number of requests for research grants and assessed 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 one research grant amounting to £26,063.
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.
