In the UK we match any charitable donations made by an employee via the Give As You Earn Scheme. Cancer Research UK was our charity for 2007 and we raised more than £110,000 on their behalf.  In 2008 our chosen charity was The British Heart Foundation and raised c£90,000 which provided 60 life saving defibrillators across various UK locations. Our chosen charity for 2009 is Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity even with a grey economic backdrop we don’t intend to disappoint and have set an initial target of £50,000 for the first 12 months of our two year partnership.
