Staff at life and pensions organisation Aegon UK have donated £75,000 to three local charities: Maggie’s, Simpson’s Memory Box Appeal and St John’s Hospital Oncology Unit.

The money was raised by Aegon UK’s employees through regular fundraising events such as dress down days, quizzes and raffles.

The raised funds will be divided equally between the three charities, which were chosen following an employee vote late in 2009 from a list of over 70 nominations.
