There are many different types of insurance available for charities and not-for-profit organisations. It is important to make sure your organisation has the right insurance in place to protect it.

If you’re running a not-for-profit organisation, insurance is an important step towards making sure you can deal with the unexpected and continue with the good work you do. Your organisation makes decisions that can literally be life-changing, which means you’ll always face an element of risk. While your plans and resources are directed towards making the world a better place, it’s just as important to make sure you have your own plans in place too.

Trustee Liability Insurance

Trustee liability insurance offers financial protection against several types of compensation claims made against charity trustees. In key posts, individuals experience a heightened level of responsibility and public accountability which carries a degree of personal risk. Trustee liability cover offers protection if a volunteer, service recipient or member of the public claims a trustee has acted wrongfully. Claims might involve breaches of duty, or even negligence – since settlements can be steep, this type of insurance is often important for charity trustees to have.

Property Insurance

Where you operate from is the heartbeat of your charity, so protecting your premises with property or office insurance can provide a lifeline when things go wrong. For your charity to be able to help people each and every day, you need to have access to your building and equipment in full working order. Whether your charity is impacted by an overnight break-in, equipment breakdown or damage to the building itself, property insurance can quickly help to cover the cost of repairs and replacements.

Personal Accident Insurance

Helping people may have always been your ambition, that’s why you’ve set up a charitable organisation – but what happens if you’re unable to work? You might fall and break your ankle during a hiking trip just as a key employee sustains an injury on a skiing holiday, meaning you’re both unable to work for a while. When your charity relies on key people to function, you may benefit from the support of a personal accident policy built into your charity insurance.
