London, UK- 14th July, 2014 – Six Degrees Group (6DG), a converged technology infrastructure provider, has raised £13,690 for HOPEHIV at the company’s annual pub quiz.

Six Degrees of Hope, the company’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme was created in 2011 to raise money for HOPEHIV.

Six Degrees of Hope has raised in excess of £150,000 over the past three years, providing a significant contribution in helping HOPEHIV reach these goals.

Alastair Mills, CEO, Six Degrees Group said: “I am really thrilled with the amount of money raised at the pub quiz this year. The night was a huge success thanks to the support of everyone that attended. Having seen first hand the amazing work done by HOPEHIV in Sub-Saharan Africa, I am passionate about continuing to help HOPEHIV. I am pleased that the proceeds of the Six Degrees of Hope pub quiz will be put to such good use.’’
