  • We specialise in insuring the third sector and our products are designed especially for this niche. We do not shoe-horn charities onto products designed for other types of risks.
  • We are proud to be part of the Benefact Group – a charity owned, international family of specialist financial services companies, that gives all available profits to charity and good causes. We’re built on the idea that better business, can better lives.
  • Every three years we run our donation programme which invites applications from charities involved in promoting healthy lifestyles to children and young adults. Money is then donated to the winning three charities to help them run their specific programmes.
  • We pride ourselves on offering an excellent personal service and a fast and sympathetic response to claims.
  • Not only do we insure the third sector, we also have our own Community Hub, within our offices. This is a flexible space for local charities to meet, network and host their own events - for free. This is one small way we are giving back to the sector.
