Charity and the Community
Matchtech is committed to providing support to the Community and society through a number of charitable activities.
Our main charity partner is Friends of PICU.
The Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at Southampton General Hospital is the regional centre for the South of England.
More than seven hundred children are admitted to the unit each year, many of them directly from the hospital’s Emergency Department or from other hospitals with complex serious illnesses, also following Major Surgery Children from newborn to 17 years are cared for on this specialist unit. This may be due to massive trauma following a road traffic accident or other serious illnesses or serious heart disease in tiny babies.
We work in partnership with Friends of PICU to support and organise charity events. Our staff fully support the charity and have run Marathons, fun runs and completed sky dives in order raise funds.

Matchtech also sponsors a number of local sports teams and community projects such as The Wildlife Trust. We are a corporate member of the Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust and organise regular volunteering days where members of staff take part in practical conservation work to help manage sites for the benefit of wildlife and the local community.
