More Than Just a Mountain to Climb

Veritek are pleased to be supporting the ‘Three Peaks Challenge’ during the weekend of 13th -15th August 2010.

The event has been organised to raise funds for The Healing Foundation, a small national charity dedicated to supporting research into treatments for a wide range of disfigurement and appearance concerns; from pioneering research into the potential of scar-less healing and tissue ‘regeneration’, to developing new treatments for people affected psychologically by an altered or unusual appearance.

Following an appeal to staff members, a team of four intrepid Veritek employees have volunteered to take up the challenge, and now face the mountainous task of completing the ascent and descent of Ben Nevis in Scotland, Scafell Pike in the Lake District and Mount Snowdon in Wales…all between 5a.m. on the Saturday and Midday on the Sunday.

Anyone wishing to pledge support for the Healing Foundation by sponsoring Veritek’s team should do so at: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team/KPMGthreepeakschallenge

Veritek wish their team every success in this enormous challenge.

Supporting Customers and Good Causes

Veritek continues to support good causes. For the BBC's Children in Need charity, we supported a team of Boots head office colleagues who in late October undertook a 27 mile overnight sponsored walk along St Cuthbert's way in Northumberland.

On Children in Need day itself, Veritek employees were encouraged to ‘Wear Something Spotty’ for a £1 donation. Head office staff were also invited to bake and sell ‘spotty cakes and cookies’ and guess the number of sweets in a jar. The day proved a great success, raising both additional funds and awareness of the invaluable work done by Children in Need.

World Vision

As Christmas is the season of goodwill, Veritek are taking the opportunity to help others less fortunate than ourselves.

Following a similar initiative in 2008, the company are not sending Christmas cards to customers and suppliers, choosing instead to buy ‘must have gifts’ from World Vision. World Vision works in partnership with more than 100 million people in nearly 100 countries in their struggle against poverty, hunger and injustice.

The gifts selected by World Vision are precious because they are genuinely needed. They are the charity gift of hope, dignity, health and in some cases life itself. They make a real difference to some of the most vulnerable children, families and communities around the world.

Veritek has purchased; 100 Mosquito Nets, 50 Blankets, 50 School Books and 20 Footballs.
