AEGON
AEGON is a founding partner and the principal sponsor of the AEGON Breakfast Club initiative.
About us
We are part of the AEGON group, one of the world's largest life insurance and pensions companies. In the UK, we own pensions, life insurance, asset management and adviser businesses. We're a major employer in the Edinburgh area with 3,000 staff based locally. And many businesses and individuals in Edinburgh are our customers.
At AEGON, we take a fresh approach to finance. Our vision is to build the best long-term savings and protection business in the UK — and we aim to achieve this by putting the customer at the heart of what we do.
Our community activity
AEGON plays an active role in the communities in which we live and work. Through our Community Involvement Programme we support local charities, schools and community projects across the UK.
Our primary focus is on supporting local education, health & well-being and charitable organisations and our activity centres on ‘Projects in the Community', 'Employee Volunteering' and ‘Sharing AEGON resources and skills'.
The AEGON Breakfast Club is a flagship project in the community. Additionally, AEGON supports other activity within the education sector such as the Young Enterprise Scheme and the Scottish Education Board's Business Partnership.
Sandy Begbie, HR Director, AEGON UK, comments:
"AEGON is fully committed to this programme and is proud to be one of the founder sponsors of the AEGON Breakfast Club."
"As soon as we became aware of the Breakfast Club and the benefits associated with it, we immediately wanted to get involved. With improved attendance, attainment and concentration, we hope that children will be able to maximise the opportunities offered to them through the education system and build brighter, more secure futures."
"Supporting the breakfast clubs, especially in schools local to your business, is a fantastic way to give something back. By doing so, you can be assured that the contribution you give will make a significant difference."
