Insurance Charities Awareness Week

The Insurance Charities Week took place between 19^th and 23^rd June 2023, used to promote awareness of the work the charity does.

The Insurance Charities is the only charity in the UK and Ireland solely supporting past and present employees in the insurance industry and their dependants who are experiencing financial hardship.

With the sharp rise in the cost-of-living things are becoming increasingly challenging and uncertain. Providing reassurance and support to those in the industry is now more important than ever.
The Charity can help with one-off payments to finance essential items such as equipment to help someone with reduced mobility, property repairs, household appliances, and furniture, day to day hardship, clothing including school uniform. It can also provide ongoing financial help (including charitable loans) where income is restricted or insufficient to meet higher than average costs that have arisen.

Applicants do not need to be a member of an insurance-related body or association, and both working and non-working people can apply.

To contact The Insurance Charities in confidence email info@theinsurancecharities.org.uk or call 020 7606 3763.
