Insurance product launched for small charities
Howard Lake | 14 June 2016 | News
PolicyBee, the specialist charity insurance broker, has developed MyCharityGuard, a low-cost insurance package specifically for the UK’s small charities.
The package covers insurance for:
- charity trustees (including personal liability, legal defence costs, and actual or alleged ‘wrongful’ acts)
- volunteers (including employers’ liability insurance)
- fundraising events (including public liability insurance)
- property (contents and equipment insurance)
- expertise
The package can be bought online “in minutes”, starting from £82.13 a year, assuming a small or micro-charity’s annual turnover of no more than £10,000.
MyCharityGuard was announced at the beginning of Small Charity Week, the annual celebration of the work of Britain’s small charities and the people that work and volunteer for them, and donate to them.
Kerri-Ann Hockley, Head of Customer Services at PolicyBee, said:
“As we celebrate Small Charity Week, it’s clear that small and micro-charities and community groups are making a considerable difference to people throughout the UK.
“MyCharityGuard is a unique way of ensuring that the work of these vital organisations is protected. We pride ourselves on being able to safeguard those charities who safeguard others.”Advertisement
