LinuxIT makes a clear commitment to conducting ethical business. As part of this obligation, we regularly support local and national charities.

Our chosen charities of the year 2007 are the Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Society, and the Rainbow Centre in Bristol.

Great Ormond Street Hospital is a specialist hospital, housing the widest range of paediatric specialities in the country, including medical, surgical and diagnostic. The majority of children being treated are very young, on average 3 years old, and many are seriously ill with life threatening conditions.

The Rainbow Centre provides free and professional support to children and their families affected by bereavement, life threatening illness and cancer.

The Centre offers art, play and music therapy, counselling, homoeopathy and massage therapy, and LinuxIT supports these activities through both regular monetary contributions and participation in challenge events raising sponsorship.

LinuxIT Europe Ltd has made a huge contribution to the United Nations Development Programme. Its CEO, Peter Dawes-Huish, has been unstinting in his support and financial contribution and has worked tirelessly, with no personal benefit, to ensure that the United Nations and some of the most disadvantaged people in the world benefit from high quality training by developing LPI training manuals that were donated to the UN.
