Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	After our BICRAA app (www.bicraa.org) has been successfully tested in India (n=1049), showing that around 30% chew betel nut (we would like to thank Prof. Kelkar and Dr. Pethe from the Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital, Pune, for their invaluable support), the app has continued to help raise the awareness of the risks of betel nut chewing. We have now been working on a global study to extend these efforts in India and other countries. With regard to our work in Indonesia, we have continued to closely work with our partners at the Dr. Sardjito Hospital/Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, and affiliated district general hospitals in collaboration with Prof. Bing Tan to support the local Nasopharyngeal Cancer (NPC) awareness and early detection programme and to support research and publications of results. The company Storz has continued to support our programme and in 2019 we were able to award four fellowship grants to young surgeons, sponsored by a donation by the company Storz, allowing them travel to low and middle income countries and helping with the local charitable work.
