• Dataserv is delighted to announce 'Maggie's Centres' as its chosen charity 2007/2008

London, 01st June 2007

Dataserv^® UK is delighted to announce that it has become a corporate sponsor of Maggie's Centres www.maggiescentres.org, a collection of hospices dedicated to anybody who has, or who has had, cancer. They are also work for their families, friends and carers.

The first Maggie's centre was opened in 1996 in Edinburgh at the Western General Hospital and there are now centres in Glasgow, Dundee, Inverness and Oxford, close to major cancer hospital treatment centres.

Maggie's invites people to take time out and gives them a non-institutional place they can call their own. The organisation is currently trying to raise funds to open further centres in London, Swansea, Newcastle, Cotswolds and Lanarkshire. The London site which will be based at Charing Cross Hospital has been designed by the environmentally acclaimed architect Richard Rogers, (all Maggie's Centres are built with the environment very much in mind) and it is scheduled to open at the end of 2007, it is this centre that Dataserv would be principally raising money for, running a range of activities throughout the year.

The first planned Dataserv Fundraising Action is the 'Metro life hike' a 17 Mile sponsored walk around London at night - 14th/15th September 2007. Dataserv has committed to enter a team of walkers, with the Company will also be adding to the individual sponsorship achieved by members of the staff team.
