Aon empowers results for colleagues, clients and communities. We are a global firm, serving clients in 120 countries and part of our role as a corporate citizen is to give back to the communities in which we live and work. In the UK, with over 6000 colleagues across 32 locations and global headquarters based in London, Aon has an important role to play in managing its impact on the environment, the communities in which we operate, and the wellbeing of our colleagues.

We have four main areas of focus for our community work: Aon UK Charitable Foundation; Matched Funding; Payroll Giving; Mentoring and Volunteering.
Aon UK Charitable Foundation
The Aon UK Charitable Foundation gives focus to fundraising and charitable giving at Aon. Every two years, colleagues are asked to nominate and then vote for charities who they would like support over a two year period.
At the end of 2019, colleagues voted for our new charity partners to support for 2020 and 2021. These are:
We also asked our regional offices to choose a small charity they would like to support in their local area. As a result we also have 17 small charity partners for this two year period as well.
In 2019, through various different methods of fund raising, colleagues raised a huge £101,111 for the Aon UK Charitable Foundation charities.
Matched Funding
At Aon, our colleagues take on a lot of challenges and 2018 was a great year! Most do them for very personal reasons; supporting causes who have helped their families or friends through tough times which inspires them to do their best.
Aon supports colleagues with their fundraising by matching 25% of what colleagues raise up to a limit of £500 per individual per year or £1,000 for a team challenge.
£148,086 was raised by colleagues for 83 different charities. Through Aon's Matched Funding scheme we added a further £34,913
Payroll Giving and Loose Change
Aon encourages colleagues to donate to charity from their monthly pay, and the Loose Change scheme enables colleagues to donate the spare pennies from their payslips to support the work of the Aon UK Charitable Foundation. This costs no more than 99p per month. This raised a staggering £24,128 with 67% of colleagues contributing.
Mentoring and Volunteering
At Aon, we strongly believe that to create a better future we need to help, support and nurture the younger generation. Our mentoring and volunteering programme is focused on preparing young people for the world of work and we work with primary and secondary school pupils, college and university students. Not only does it help provide the mentee with one-to-one coaching but it also gives colleagues the chance to develop different skills that they can bring back into the workplace and share experiences with colleagues. We encourage colleagues to mentor on a regular basis, where possible, but we also offer one-off opportunities. In 2019, 290 colleagues took part in different mentoring and volunteering schemes with students across the UK
Every year colleagues also take part in our ‘Aon United Day for Communities where teams of individuals go into their communities to help local causes in different ways. In 2019, over 1,200 colleague took part supporting 72 different community projects across the UK donation over 6,660 hours of their time.
