Because the Charity meets the needs of insurance
people across the industry, we rely heavily on the
financial and practical backing of insurance companies
and intermediaries, both in matters of referrals and
publicity and fundraising.
We are aware that many people working in the insurance
industry today have little idea about how The Insurance
Charities could help in times of difficulty. To ensure
that your employees and pensioners know more about
what we do and can benefit from our support, when
needed, we would be pleased to provide you with the
following.
- A copy of our video featuring some of
those who have received help in the past year
- Copies of our leaflet The Insurance Charities
- What you need to know
- One-off or regular articles for in-house
publications
We are also happy to meet with Human Resources and
Pensioner Relations Managers to update them on our
activities and agree a communications strategy to
reach employees and pensioners. We would particularly
wish to target those joining and leaving the industry,
where the latter results from either redundancy or
retirement. We would, therefore, welcome the opportunity
of providing material for information packs and participating
in organised retirement courses.
On the financial side, we benefit from regular donations
from a number of large and small insurance employers.
These help to ensure that adequate support for individuals
in need can continue. Employers' donations of £500
and over are published in our Annual Financial Statements
and placed in our League Tables.
Many employers are unable to meet the demands of
past and present employees who are experiencing financial
hardship even when they have their own charitable
trust. We value the strong links we enjoy with many
companies and wish to extend these further afield.
In this way we can ensure that all those within our
industry can benefit from our support, when it is
most needed.
Given that support to individuals in some circumstances
can amount to many thousands of pounds, there may
well be opportunities for corporate sponsorship which
we would be happy to discuss further.
