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.
Our
Insurance Scheme for the 3rd Sector was specifically created to meet the needs of charities and groups operating in the charitable and not-for-profit sector. 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.
We offer advice and help on all areas of risk management and insurance, by offering a specialist scheme we are able to find cover for specific or unusual risks which can be present in such a diverse sector.

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.
