We have to pay rent, lighting, heating,
water and sundry other costs associated with running a busy office
for 20+ people.

We have various pieces of
office and medical equipment - i.e. fax machine, printers, photocopiers, computers,
ECG machines – all
of which require the appropriate paper, ink cartridges, software, disks
and maintenance.

We maintain and insure
two mobile screening vans. The costs of running these are high, but
they are an essential part of our work.
