Episode 13 – Getting the best deal from your insurer

Hosts

Antonia Swinson, CEO of the Ethical Property Foundation, interviews Jade Winter, Director at Norris and Fisher Brokers, on how charity trustees can ensure their insurance policies provide adequate protection at a manageable cost.

Key Topics:

    • Essential questions for trustees: Are all activities, premises, and offsite items covered? Are rebuild figures and contents up to date? Is business interruption cover sufficient?

    • Top tips for keeping costs manageable: Shop around, check for discounts, review cover limits, and avoid misrepresentation.

    • Common pitfalls: Missing essential covers such as fidelity guarantee or cyber insurance, focusing only on price, or failing to review policies after organisational changes.

    • Proactive policy review: Start at least six weeks before renewal, understand exclusions, compare with the market, and use a broker to test your needs.

Tune in for practical advice and insider guidance on what to look for, and what to avoid, so your charity can make confident, informed decisions about insurance.
