Supporting our Global Village programme

As dedicated supporters of our Global Village programme, AON have sent over 100 employees to participate in our overseas volunteering projects in various locations around the world. In each country they have volunteered in, AON employees have taken part in activities such as mixing concrete, laying bricks and digging foundations.

For each trip, AON employees have taken part in a variety of fundraising activities. They have pushed themselves to run half marathons, hosted balloon modelling at children’s parties, baked cakes for the office, and more. The funds raised by AON have enabled them to take part in our build projects as well as assisting the funding of the resources and staff needed to build.

The work that AON has completed will enable families to focus on their futures. The beneficiaries that AON have worked alongside will no longer need to choose between investing in home repairs or investing in their futures.

In their words

“Quite simply one of the most rewarding things I have ever done! The obvious is seeing the difference that the efforts of the group made to the lives of a surprisingly large group of individuals and their, quite often, emotional response. From a corporate perspective I have made connections across the organisation that I never would have without this initiative. Those connections are already helping me to achieve more… At a personal level I have shared this fantastic experience with a group of people that I’m proud to call my friends and even prouder that we consider ourselves family…”
