The Insurance Charity - School Essentials Grant
13 August 2026The Insurance Charity is offering School Essentials grants to help eligible families with the costs associated with their children’s education.
Awards are available to current and former insurance people in the UK, Ireland and the Channel Islands who receive means-tested benefits and have children attending primary or secondary school, or sixth-form college.
Grants are worth £250 per school-age child in the UK or €300 per child in Ireland. Funding can help towards school clothing and footwear, school equipment, activities and school trips.
Eligibility is not dependent on an individual’s role within the insurance industry or their length of service. Both first-time applicants and people who have previously received support from The Insurance Charity can apply, while families with more than one child can include multiple children in a single application.
Unlike the charity’s standard financial grants, applicants do not need to have experienced a specific event of misfortune, such as redundancy, to apply.

Stepping Up for the Bubble Foundation
Our President Rachel Jefferson Completes the Steptember Challenge!
For those of us who spend so much of our working lives sitting at a desk, in the car or in front of clients, Rachel thought Steptember would be a great way to challenge herself to get moving while raising money for such an important cause.
So, in September, Rachel took on the Bubble Foundation’s Steptember Challenge: 300,000 steps in 30 days, the equivalent of 10,000 steps per day.
