• Confidence in the product and the supplier.
• Reliable and unbiased advice.
• Cost effectiveness.

These are the hallmarks by which Charity Trustees should judge decisions when fulfilling their duty to insure against the unexpected risks and liabilities they face in the daily running of their activities.

Liabilities to staff, clients and the public; compensation for the theft of property; harm arising from accident, are typical of the risks to be insured.

Now, the Encompass Insurance Policy is available and setting new standards for all of these hallmarks - and to meet the interests of voluntary organisations, quickly and reliably. Compare it with your present arrangements and see for yourself.
