Charity insurance

With over 125 years of experience insuring not for profit organisations, we’ve developed charity insurance that’s flexible enough to meet the needs of a wide variety of charitable organisations of all sizes, including:

charities
not-for-profit organisations
community interest companies
and social enterprises.

And because we assess each charity on its own merits, we can tailor your cover and premium to offer charity insurance that gives you quality cover at competitive premiums.

We understand that there’s no such thing as a typical charity. Find your nearest charity insurance broker using the postcode search on the right to discuss your bespoke needs.

As well as specialist covers, our charity insurance gives you expert guidance, advice and support designed especially for charities, including risk management guidance notes and a free valuation service**. And with 97% of our customers*** very or extremely satisfied with our 24-hour claims service, you can also be confident we’ll be ready to resolve claims as quickly and fairly as we can.
