Charity Insurance FAQs

While some policies may not be compulsory, they are typically chosen because severe risks have been identified. If you’re unsure, call our team of experts on 0345 777 3322.
A building survey may need to be done to obtain an accurate rebuild cost valuation. This is important when taking out property insurance to ensure you receive an accurate pay out in the event of a claim. We can support you with this.

If your charity has an income of less than £100,000, call our friendly team of experts on 0345 777 3322. They will talk to you about your needs before issuing you a quote. We know that getting insurance for your organisation can seem complicated, which is why our advisors are on hand to answer all of your questions. 

For larger charities or those with more complex needs, it's best to arrange a policy with us via your broker. They will be able to give you expert advice and help you choose the right cover.

From employee liability to business interruption, we offer nearly 30 covers for your organisation.
No two organisations are the same, which is why there is no set package for charities and not-for-profits. Choose the cover that your charity needs and we'll build a policy that's unique to you.
