Charity insurance

With over 120 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.
