There are over 200,000 registered charities in the UK, plus an estimated further 100,000 smaller charities that are exempt from registration because of their size and turnover (in England and Wales only charities with an income over £5,000 need to be registered.)
Why QBE?
We work with caring and fundraising organisations of all sizes, large and small, across the UK to make sure they have the right cover in place to protect the vital work they do in our communities.
Charities can have diverse insurance needs, and our expertise in the sector means we can provide tailored cover for even the most challenging situations, whether it’s a specialist fundraising event, cover for staff and volunteers involved in hazardous foreign travel, or ensuring that their vans, minibuses and other vehicles have adequate insurance.
QBE Premiums4Good
We think that buying insurance shouldn’t just be about business. Under our Premiums4Good initiative, customers can opt for 25% of their premium to be invested in projects that help the environment or communities.

No matter how large or small, if your charity has paid employees you are legally required to have Employers’ Liability insurance. This provides cover in the event of you being held liable for injury to an employee if for example they slip on a wet floor or trip over loose wires. If your charity relies on volunteers, the general advice for insurance purposes is to treat volunteers in the same way as employees, to cover any claims from volunteers who have suffered injury in the course of working for you. With the breadth of knowledge and expertise we’ve built up over 70 years in liability insurance, there are few risks we’re unable to consider.
