Specialist insurers

compared for you

We Do the Hard Work. You Focus on Your Mission.

Most charities and not-for-profits are underinsured. We make it easy to get the right cover — by comparing specialist insurers and matching you with brokers who actually know this sector.

🔍

We compare for you

We assess your organisation and compare policies from Chubb, AIG, Zurich, Berkley, and specialist charity underwriters — so you see options, not a single product pushed at you.

🤝

Brokers we personally know

Every broker we recommend has been personally vetted. These are advisors who specialise in the not-for-profit sector and understand what your organisation actually needs.

📋

Plain English, always

We translate the insurance jargon. You'll know exactly what's covered, what's not, and what each policy means for your specific organisation.

Back within one business day

Tell us about your organisation and we'll come back with tailored options in plain English. No lengthy phone trees, no call centres, no hold music.

🛡️

There when it matters

A broker who disappears after the sale is no broker at all. Our recommended brokers support you through claims — the only moment that really counts.

💰

Typically saves money

Specialist charity insurers often price more competitively than generic commercial insurers. We find the most competitive rate without compromising cover quality.

Cover Types for Charities & Not-for-Profits

From public liability to trustee protection, volunteer accident cover to cyber insurance — we match you with the covers your organisation actually needs.

🛡️

Public Liability

Protects your organisation if someone is injured or their property is damaged as a result of your activities.

⚖️

Trustee & D&O Liability

Protects individual trustees, board members, and committee members from personal financial loss arising from their governance role.

🤝

Volunteer Personal Accident

Supplements ACC for volunteers — providing better income replacement and meaningful death benefits based on real-world earnings.

📋

Professional Indemnity

Covers claims arising from errors, omissions, or negligence in professional services delivered by your organisation.

👷

Employers Liability

Covers claims from employees for work-related harm not captured by ACC — an essential gap-filler for any organisation with paid staff.

📜

Statutory Liability

Covers prosecution costs and fines under legislation like the Health and Safety at Work Act, Privacy Act, and Charities Act.

Important for Trustees

Charitable Status Does Not Protect Your Trustees

Being a registered charity does not shield individual trustees, board members, or committee members from personal liability. Under the Incorporated Societies Act 2022, officer duties are now explicit — and enforceable.

Trustee Liability (D&O) insurance protects the people who give their time to govern your organisation. Without it, they fund their own legal defence.
