Our guide for charity trustees
Almost anyone over the age of 18 can be a charity trustee – though there are some exclusions, and because so many charities are short of trustees (up to 50%), there is likely to be plenty of opportunity to get involved.
What people like you, say about us
I have known Scott for around 18 months in his role for Marsh. He has always been extremely helpful with any query that I have had and always keeps any promises he makes which is very important for me and the YMCA.
His prompt answers and his helpful reliability is very reassuring. In a world where companies often let their customers down with poor service, and can create problems rather than bring solutions, I never have a doubt that this will happen when dealing with Scott. He is a problem solver. I hope to continue the working relationship with Marsh going forward and with Scott Henry as our account manager.

Why you need specialist charity insurance
No matter how good your intentions are, sometimes things don’t go to plan.
If a volunteer or fundraiser is hurt due to your activities, legal action could be brought against your charity or non-profit group. The consequences could be devastating to you and those that depend on the work your organisation carries out.
Specialist charity insurance helps ensure that your volunteers, fundraisers, supporters and the general public are properly protected.
Professional indemnity insurance for charities
If your organisation is found responsible for delivering inadequate advice or services that result in financial loss or confidentiality breach, charity professional indemnity insurance will offer protection if it is found liable for any compensation. It will also cover any legal costs incurred while defending the claim.
Cyber insurance
Many charities hold sensitive data and are increasingly more at risk from cyber attacks. Cyber insurance is key to ensuring you're fully protected against any potential damages or costs resulting from an attack.
Faith insurance
We provide a range of specific charity insurance solutions for places of worship, religious groups and religious charities of all sizes. Whether you are part of a large, nationwide group, or a place of worship for your local community, we can help arrange cover that suits your needs.
