Six Degrees raises nearly £35k for charity

Six Degrees Group (6DG), a provider of integrated data managed services, has raised nearly £35,000 for HOPEHIV at its annual charity golf day on September 17th at Foxhills golf course, Surrey. The event drew in more than 50 IT industry experts who clubbed together and raised over £17,000 for the charity. This sum was then doubled by 6DG, meaning the results came in well above par.  

Six Degrees of Hope, the service provider’s CSR programme was launched in 2011 to support HOPEHIV. In the two years since its launch, Six Degrees of Hope has raised more than £125,000 for the organisation. As part of the scheme, 6DG doubles any funds raised by its employees for Six Degrees of Hope. The golf day finished with dinner and a charity auction. Items offered for auction included a first class trip to Paris, tickets to see England v Argentina at Twickenham and two days of brand consultancy with Mr B & Friends Brand Consultancy.

Commenting on the success of the day, Alastair Mills, CEO at Six Degrees Group, stated: “Whether our staff are organising formal events, fun quizzes or cycling across the country, at 6DG we are always looking for ways to raise money in the name of Six Degrees of Hope. We wanted to build on last year’s golf day success by raising even more money this year and we are pleased to have had so many enthusiastic players on board. Several of our staff members have recently returned from a trip to Tanzania, where they volunteered at one of our projects so we know that the amount of money raised by just this one event will help to transform the lives of young people in many communities. We look forward to hearing more about the charity’s continued success as a result.”
