What will you do to help raise the profile of your dedicated industry charity, between the 24th and 28th June? Once again we'll be delivering our annual awareness week and hope you'll get involved and help us spread the word throughout the industry. We'll be issuing a digital Supporter Toolkit nearer the time to help insurance companies, local networks, membership organisations and individuals get involved in whatever way they can. Also insurance employers with up to 1000 members of staff can now order free giveaways to distribute during the week.

About us
Adversity can affect anyone: a child with medical needs, a relationship breakdown, mental health issues, domestic abuse, a debilitating illness; all unforeseen events that can turn lives upside down. Established over 120 years ago, we are the only charity in the UK and Ireland solely supporting past and present employees in the industry, no matter what role they have had. Every year, we support hundreds of insurance employees and their families in times of need, transforming lives for the better and providing an essential lifeline for as long as is required. In 2022/2023 we awarded over £1.3 million to those facing hardship. The Charity can help you with one-off payments to help finance essential items such as household repairs, school uniforms, and mobility aids, and can also provide ongoing financial help (including charitable loans) where income is restricted or insufficient to meet day-to-day essential costs. We also work with other organisations such as Shelter UK and Alzheimer’s Society to provide practical support where needed. Through these fantastic charities, we can assist those with housing concerns and people in the industry affected by dementia. We want to ensure no insurance employee in need of help misses out. We urge all industry employees to share our details with their professional networks (including those who have retired) and signpost anyone who needs support to our website. Please contact us to discuss how we can support your colleagues. We'd particularly like to hear from those in HR, Wellbeing and CSR roles and individuals with people management responsibilities.

We have some last minute availability for our fourth and final training session we are offering to those working in the insurance industry. Improving Communication For People Living With Dementia will take place online on 17 April (12-3pm) via Zoom. The session is free to attend and will be delivered by our partners at Alzheimer's Society. This course will explore the principles of communication, including the challenges and complexities we all encounter when communicating.
