Insight
Charity sector insights
Our Charity Risk Barometer 2019 uncovers key challenges facing charities, helps you capitalise on opportunities and reap major rewards.
Sharing a common purpose
We are owned by a charity ourselves and our goal is to be the most trusted and ethical specialist financial services group in our chosen markets. We are the fourth largest corporate giver on The Guide to UK Company Giving and our employees have delivered hundreds of hours in volunteer time.
More than just an insurance policy
Our charitable ownership gives us a greater insight into some of the challenges facing the sector. This level of understanding means we are able to support our charity customers in many ways - regulation, tax, compliance, safeguarding and risk management being just a few.
Charity risk management services
We understand the importance of helping our customers to prevent incidents that could interrupt their work. Our highly-skilled team offers professional building valuations and risk management tools and guidance, all as part of the service1.
Specialist market knowledge
We hold relationships with key charity bodies such as the Charity Finance Group, New Philanthropy Capital, and the Honorary Treasurers Forum. This enables us to keep up-to-date with best practice in the sector and share this with our customers.
Award-winning claims expertise
Our in-house claims team will take a proactive approach when handling your claim. Their experience enables them to protect your charity’s best interests.
Ecclesiastical have been fantastic. They have gone above and beyond to return the building to us as quickly as possible.
