No, this is not another of Ian Harris’s madcap ideas for a night out with his favourite clients.Insurance costs for charities have risen substantially over the last 2 years and some organisations in the sector cannot get cover for vital activities. Charity Logistics has commissioned Z/Yen to assess whether charities can help each other through clubbing the risk, e.g. mutual insurance. The feasibility study will involve expert discussion and research into the current charity insurance environment.The research is endorsed by the Active Community Unit of the Home Office, the Charity Finance Directors Group, the Association of Chief Executives in Voluntary Organisations, the Institute of Fundraising and the Charity Commission. The Z/Yen team comprises Stephen Martin, Laura Wright, Michael Mainelli and Ian Harris. Any charities and/or insurance people who wish to participate in this research should contact Stephen Martin or go straight to the on-line survey.
