Our community group insurance premiums start from £3 a month with the option to pay over 10 interest free instalments.
What is community group insurance?
Community insurance is specialist cover designed to protect organisations which have people meet up. If, for example, there was an accident during a fundraising event, a break in at your premises or an allegation of abuse by a service user, your group could face serious financial problems.
Here at Markel, we specialise in providing insurance for non-profit organisations and small charities. This means you can rest assured knowing that we understand the industry and the challenges that groups face. Our insurance products cover a range of scenarios, from on-site accidents to cyber threats.
What kind of groups does it cover?
Every community group is different, which is why we take the time to understand the activities your group undertakes and explain the cover we can offer. Below are some examples of community insurance we can provide:
- Walking group insurance. Walking groups are a great way to get fit while socialising – however there are risks such as tripping or slipping, which is why public liability cover is essential.
- Drama group insurance. Drama groups are very popular and allow attendees to develop a new skill. You will require multiple types of cover to protect the building, and the wellbeing of performers and volunteers.
- Parent and toddler group insurance. A fun and social way to bring parents and their children together, similarly to drama groups, you will need multiple covers - with public liability insurance and employer's liability insurance being the most essential.
- Computer club insurance. Computer clubs face different risks compared to other groups, as well as the essential public liability insurance for community groups and employer's liability insurance in case there is an injury onsite. Cyber insurance may also factor in here.

Our support for the charity and voluntary sector
