Charity & Third Sector Insurance

Specialist insurance cover for charities and not-for-profit organisations

Risk Management

Litigation, regulation and funding challenges have all had an impact on the way that third sector organisations have to approach risk today. Ensuring that you have the right insurance in place to protect you and your organisation is important and can often require specialist insurance knowledge in order to find the right cover at an affordable premium.

At Scrutton Bland, we look after the insurance and risk management needs of over 500 charities and third-sector organisations. With over 100 years’ insurance broking experience and a dedicated charity team, we understand the unique requirements of the sector and the types of protection it demands.

How we can help

Through our specialist charity scheme, we provide clients with exclusive terms and a bespoke set of covers that aren’t readily available on the open market. Our insurance is underwritten by one of the UK’s leading, A-rated insurers, giving clients all the cover they need in one policy and at an affordable premium.

Every charity is different, but there are typical insurances which charity and third sector organisations should consider which can include:

Public liability extension to cover abuse up to £10,000,000 of liability
Products liability to cover second-hand goods up to £10,000,000

A personal service

We pride ourselves on the level of service we provide to charity and not-for-profit clients. Every member of our charity team has a personal connection to the charitable sector, along with an intricate understanding of the associated risks. This knowledge allows us to ask the right questions, offer the right advice and find the right solutions.

We also take the time to visit each client in person, in order to better understand the nature of their work. As part of these visits, we will undertake a free insurance risk management review to identify the appropriate insurance cover and ensure there are no gaps or exposures.
