We support the charitable fundraising activities of our employees in three ways:

Employee Community Fund

At E.ON UK, we recognise that many of our colleagues have charities that hold particular importance for them and our Employee Community Fund is a great way for us to help our employees raise funds for those charities.

Colleagues can apply for a donation of up to £2000 for their chosen charity or community organisation - where they can show a benefit to either education projects or vulnerable groups.

To date, charities supported by our colleagues include well-known charities such as Marie Curie Cancer Care and the British Heart Foundation and smaller projects directly affecting families and friends. The common link is that the employees decide who benefits.

Charity of the Year

New for 2010, we'll be introducing a Charity of the Year - to focus the fundraising efforts of our sites across the UK.

Payroll Giving

At E.ON, our colleagues can donate to their favourite charities through a Payroll Giving scheme. We add 10% to donations and pay all administration costs, so that employees can be sure that 100% of their   money goes to their chosen charity.
