Who are we?
The Insurance Charities (registered charity number 206860
and company number 74461) was established in 1902. Situated
in the heart of the City of London, we benefit from a
countrywide team of volunteer representatives who visit
applicants and relay their needs to the Funds' welfare
department for assessment. The volunteers also publicise
the work of the Funds in their locality.
The Charity has a board of trustees drawn from across
the insurance industry. Such trustees ensure that the
needs of the whole industry are represented and that
the charities' resources are appropriately managed.
The Charity has four full time employees and one part
time employee who are engaged in assessing cases of hardship,
administering authorised payments and maintaining appropriate
financial records.
The Insurance Charities also administer payments from
three other trust funds, the largest of which is The
Paul Golmick Fund which helps minor children of insurance
officials.
What do we do?
The Insurance Charities give vital financial and practical
support to past and present employees of the insurance
industry who have spent at least five years either working
as insurance officials or within an insurance company
or intermediary, regardless of their type of work. Support
is also given to their dependent relatives, who are suffering
financial hardship. For examples of how our help has
been administered view our case studies.
