2009 has been a year in which our employees have really risen to the fundraising challenge. This is reflected in the achievement of our GAYE target of 15% of employees using the benefits offered by the GAYE scheme with 16% doing so in 2009 (2008: 13.6%) and the high number of employees utilising their charity £750 matching allowance.
A team of 38 employees from across the Group took part in the 2009 Flora London Marathon, running for The Children’s Trust. Through hard work, sponsorship and other fundraising activities, the team managed to raise an impressive £87,000 (including Legal & General’s matching).
