Why charities need insurance

Charities face a number of risks that other organisations may never have to contend with. These include:

  • Managing volunteers
  • Running large scale events
  • Receiving and handling donations
  • Working with vulnerable individuals, often in hazardous environments

On top of this, charities are often run by a team of trustees and a management committee. If any of these individuals are accused of mismanagement, negligence, or breach of duty, it can lead to considerable legal fees and even compensation claims. Without dedicated insurance, the charity itself may be liable for meeting these expenses.

Bespoke charity insurance can cover you for all of these risks, along with the more everyday risks that would be covered by a standard business insurance policy.

What does charity insurance cover?

Core areas of cover can include:

  • Public liability insurance
  • Trustee and senior manager liability insurance
  • Employer’s liability insurance
  • Contents and equipment insurance
  • Buildings insurance
  • Personal accident insurance
  • Cyber insurance

Do charities need public liability insurance?

While it is not a legal requirement, all charities should consider investing in public liability insurance.

Charities often work closely with members of the public, whether through running collections, putting on events, delivering services, or managing community programmes. Public liability insurance can provide essential cover should any member of public experience an accident or an injury as a result of the charity’s activities.

On top of this, charities have a legal requirement to get employer’s liability insurance. This will cover your volunteers and your paid staff for any accidents or injuries they may experience while working or volunteering for the charity.
