Your coverage needs to reflect these realities, protecting against claims that arise from the heart of your charitable work

Volunteer Activities
Protection during volunteer work, community outreach, and charity events.
Event Coverage
Fundraising events, community fairs, and public gatherings.

Essential protection for your staff and volunteers
Employers Liability Insurance for Charities
Covers All Your People
Protects your charity against claims from employees, volunteers, trustees, and work experience placements who suffer injury or illness while working for your organisation.
Legal Requirement
Employers liability insurance is legally required if your charity has any employees. Even volunteer-only organisations benefit from this protection for governance and volunteer safety.
Volunteer-Specific Coverage
Unlike standard business policies, our employers liability includes comprehensive volunteer protection – covering activities from fundraising events to community outreach programs.
Bundled Value
Combined with public liability insurance for complete protection. One policy, one renewal date, one competitive premium covering both essential charity insurance needs.
What Employers Liability Insurance Covers
Liability Insurance Combined
While public liability protects against harm to others, employers liability protects your people – and as a charity, your ‘people’ include volunteers, trustees, and placement students that standard business policies often exclude.
This combined approach ensures complete protection while simplifying your insurance management.”
Workplace Injuries
Staff injuries at your premises, offices, shops, or community centres - from slips and falls to equipment-related accidents.
Volunteer Activities
Injuries to volunteers during fundraising, community work, events setup, or any charity-related activities.
Work-Related Travel
Coverage when staff or volunteers are injured traveling between charity locations or visiting beneficiaries.
Trustee Protection
Covers trustees injured while performing governance duties, attending meetings, or participating in charity activities.

- Work experience and placement participant coverage
- Off-site community work protection
- Fundraising event volunteer coverage
