    Situation

    When a new member joins Verity, they are provided an information pack that includes over ten booklets on how to manage various PCOS symptoms (see list below). Additionally, Verity’s information booklets are sent to professional and medical organisations to distribute to patients and clients. Our booklets are currently being updated by our team of medical and PCOS experts, and each booklet costs £ 140 to design and £1000.00 to print 5,000 copies. Our booklets include: • Introduction to PCOS (self-funded) • Fertility • Dealing with Excess Hair • Nutrition (funding received) • Hormones - Behind the Scenes of PCOS • Alternative and Complementary Therapies • Dealing with Acne (funding received) • PCOS for Teenagers (funding received) • Long-Term Health consequences • Benefits of Exercise • PCOS and your Emotions • PCOS for partners Verity are pro-actively seeking funding for each of the booklets we offer, to not do so would mean that Verity would incur a cost of approximately £14,000.00, and as we are entirely self-funded this would eat into a huge amount of our savings.
