The measure of who we are, is what we do.
Nominated Charity's of The Year
At Verus, we believe that community is the bedrock on which we are formed. We are proud to be able to support the local community along with numerous national and international charitable foundations.
We’re passionate about giving back and working with the community. As part of this, we are dedicated to supporting local sports teams through sponsorships. We’re proud to work with such fundamental pillars of the community in and around Sligo.
We strive to give back beyond Sligo too. Each year we choose a foundation, both national and international to be Verus' nominated Charity of The Year. As corporate sponsors, we organise numerous fundraising activities throughout the year along with support through donations.

Dedicated to helping this amazing charity raise vital funds for the children and their families who need it most, our partnership with The Jack & Jill Children’s Foundation is fundamental to Verus’ 2019 philanthropic efforts.
As part of our J&J fundraising activities, one member of the team volunteers to do a monthly cook-off, providing a tasty lunch meal for the whole team, not an easy task when there are over twenty hungry mouths to feed.
In June, we held a charity quiz night, a fantastic evening that helped us raise vital funds for the foundation. Read more about the quiz night here.
Our UK counterparts have chosen The Alzheimer’s Society, a vital charity that campaigns for change, funds research to find a cure and supports people living with dementia today.
The Verus UK team continue to organise many fundraising activities over the coming months. Plans are currently in place for Abi, our UK Office & Accounts Administrator, to participate in an upcoming marathon in which we are proudly sponsoring her participation.

First Cook Off
As part of our fundraising efforts, one Verus member volunteers to do a monthly cook-off, providing a tasty lunch meal for the rest of the team. However, it’s not an easy task when there are over twenty hungry mouths to feed. Design Engineer, Mark Devanney kick-started our cook-offs with some delicious pulled-pork brisket. Since then, we have tucked into the likes of French onion soup, lasagne and even tacos too!

The Big Quiz
In addition to our cook-offs, we are always looking for ways to fundraise outside of the office. The big quiz, was organised by our dedicated CSR team to help us strive towards our goal of raising money and creating awareness of an incredible charity.
The event success was down to our local community who turned out to support and join in on some friendly, yet competitive quizzing.
