Aegon UK donates catering supplies to help staff at Peterborough City Hospital keep going during long shifts

Aegon UK has donated a whole host of catering supplies to staff working long shifts at Peterborough City Hospital.

With the help of Aramark - Aegon’s catering and facilities partner - crates of cold drinks, energy drinks, crisps, tray bakes, water, chocolate and hand creams were sent to hospitals in Peterborough, Colchester, Salford, Chelmsford and Edinburgh.

The hospital in Peterborough made a specific request for coffee cups and sugar sachets which were also delivered.

Mike Holliday-Williams, CEO, Aegon UK said: “The coronavirus pandemic is affecting every part of society and for those of us on the side lines it’s easy to feel helpless. But our communities all depend on the work being done in hospitals which is why it’s so important that we all do our bit to help where we can.

“We received a few requests from employees in the business to help local NHS hospitals working on the front line. Our charity committee couldn’t wait to get stuck into the challenge and contacted the hospitals local to Aegon offices to ask how to help.

"The message came back clearly that snacks and drinks staff could grab to keep them going during long shifts, and hand cream, would be a huge help.

“Working together with Aramark, supplies were successfully delivered to hospitals in six different cities across the UK.”
