Access Insurance Services are Chartered Insurance Brokers and specialist advisers to charities, churches, and community groups. Each organisation faces a unique set of risks, so they design specific insurance policies to ensure you’re adequately protected and only paying for the cover you need.
We chose Access Insurance due to their work specifically in the charity sector and being able to offer value for money.
Why Access Insurance chose to work with CBG
We are proud to work with the Charities Buying Group, which shares a similar ethos and vision for giving and supporting the sector. Just as CBG specialises in helping charities save on their costs, we are passionate about helping all charities get the right insurance, so they are adequately protected and only pay for cover they need. We build bespoke policies tailored to each charity’s specific needs and look forward to advising the diverse range of charities that are members of CBG.
We also share a vision for giving. Just as CBG supports the National Walking Football Alliance, Access is part of the Benefact Group, which is owned by a charity and gives all available profits to good causes. Our group’s giving programme, Movement for Good, sees over £1 million in funding given to charities each year.
Here's how it works ...
What charity insurance do I need?
- Your charity will run activities and have aims that are different from others, so you will need cover for the risks you face. There are some common covers that most charities will need to consider or have by law.
- Public liability insurance is usually a fundamental cover for charities, whether you are small social group, village hall or a homeless shelter. This covers you if someone is injured or their property is damaged because of your organisation.
- If you employ staff or volunteers – whether full-time or part-time – employers’ liability insurance is highly recommended for volunteers and a legal requirement if you have paid staff. It covers you for claims of illness or injury to employees or volunteers whilst they undertake work for you
- If you have trustees or management committee, you may also want to consider trustee indemnity/Directors & Officers cover to protect your organisation and committee members from allegations of breach of duty and negligence.
- Whether you give advice, own property, have a fleet of minibuses or work in care or education settings, we work with 40+ specialist insurers to cover even the most complex of charity risks. Moreover, we always work on our client’s behalf, never insurers.
Charity insurance quotes tailored for you
Giving your time and effort to a great cause can be hugely rewarding. If you run a small charity, social club, community group or not for profit organisation, you’ll know that it also comes with a unique set of risks.
As well as the opportunities to create positive impact that come from working in the not-for-profit sector, charities will have their own unique set of risks, whether you are a community centre, association, social club, a small or large charity.
From accidents involving volunteers or fundraising event visitors to allegations of wrongdoing against trustees, we understand that your organisation requires specialist cover. That’s why we make it easy for you to get a quote tailored to your needs.
Types of cover charities may need
We understand that charities have several different risks when compared to other types of organisation. Here are some of the covers charities may need:
- Charity public liability insurance
- Charity employers’ liability insurance
- Trustee liability insurance
- Charity / Not for Profit Combined
- Cyber and Crime
- Professional Indemnity
- Motor Fleet
- Marine
- Engineering
- People
- Complex risk
Whether it is for charity merger or social enterprise, we embrace complex risk solutions. The insurance markets continue to consider innovative ways to provide protection for unusual businesses. We enjoy the challenge of providing support.
