NCi Charity

NCi Charity - The UK Charity Insurance Broker

As one of the UK's longest established insurance brokers NCi has helped organisations of all types get the protection and insurance they need since 1928.

NCi Charity, their charity insurance division has grown rapidly and now offers a wide range of services from risk management and on-site visits to online quotes and in-house claims management.

Hundreds of clients throughout the charity sector now benefit by using NCi Charity; from community groups and small charities to charities that help the aged and carry out activities in all parts of the World.

What are the benefits of using NCi Charity?

Charities of all types have received premium reductions by approaching NCi Charity and with access to a wide range of insurers and here are just a few examples of charities that have saved money by approaching them for a charity insurance quote:

• A charity helping the aged - 10% premium saving
• A local disability charity - 15% premium saving
• A charity helping single/teenage parents - 25% premium saving
• Community Café - 45% premium saving
• Local Community Centre - 55% premium saving

Charities have obtained wider, or in some cases the correct, cover which had been unavailable with their current insurer or broker. NCi Charity employees have an excellent understanding of the risks faced by charities and can provide good advice in relation to often misunderstood products such as Professional Indemnity and Trustees Liability.

NCi Charity is keen for their clients to utilise risk management services wherever possible, and have arranged risk management surveys free of charge, sometimes in cases where insurers wouldn't usually survey premises due to low premiums. This has, in part, resulted in a very low loss ratio amongst their clients.

Charity clients are also encouraged to use additional policy benefits such as legal advice help lines, cheaper CRB checks and the like. This often saves charities money by not having to pay full price for products or consultants.

Charities like yours can also benefit from an in house claims management service at no cost which means in the event of a claim you're not left to negotiate and deal with insurer alone. By acting as your advocate, you get advice as to what to do in the event of a claim and what documentary evidence insurers might require.

You can also benefit from exclusive facilities which are simply unavailable from other charity insurance providers including cover for charities working in territories where there is civil or political unrest or where there are frequent terrorist attacks.

Charities also benefit from receiving free advice, out of office hours, as the NCi Charity website is constantly updated with useful information including a frequently asked questions section, a charity insurance glossary and various pages specific to different types of charity and voluntary organisation.

With charity clients paying less than £100 to larger charities insured by NCi Charity paying in excess of £100,000 for their annual premiums, NCi Charity aims to make sure each and every one gets the advice and support they need to ensure their staff, volunteers, premises, contents, visitors and indeed the charity as a whole is protected at all times.

NCi Charity prefers to keep things simple - they can provide bespoke policies covering a myriad of contingencies and risks and which seem complex to those working outside of insurance, but they prefer, wherever possible, to stick to the basics by helping you answer questions including:

• What do I need?
• What do I want?
• Where do the risks lie in our charity?

By doing this you can be assured that the correct cover is matched to the risk and this often means establishing your risk appetite and balancing that against available funds.

NCi Charity is staffed by experts in their field; this has been evidenced by the company being shortlisted for “Insurance Provider of the Year” at the Charity Times Awards in both 2010 & 2011. They also pride themselves on giving excellent (and quick) service and a willingness to help charities by securing premium finance, 0% direct debit options where possible, the ability to stagger payments and offering advice on how to cut cover and reduce premiums without exposing themselves to too much risk.

Insurance for your charity is likely to be one of your biggest outgoings so NCi Charity are committed to helping you find high quality yet affordable insurance solutions at every opportunity.
By negotiating exclusive pricing arrangements with their insurer partners and being prepared to reduce the amount they make per client, savings are passed onto charities. This has resulted in an average saving of over 17% for charities who have taken out a policy with NCi Charity since January 2009.

Charities help those who often need it the most and NCi Charity is committed to helping the charity sector. By employing the right staff and securing exclusive cover and premiums for the charity sector, NCi Charity believes that they can continue to help the charities who play such a crucial role in developing the type of society and indeed World we all want to live in.

Why NCi Charity?

Exclusive facilities, an A+ credit rating and being one of the UK's longest established and leading insurance brokers are great but summing up is probably best left to a couple of charities who use NCi Charity:
"I would like to thank you for all your help, advice and support. Our claim was quietly and efficiently managed and relieved a significant burden on the organisation. We were extremely pleased to have that support and would not hesitate in recommending the services of NCi Charity to other charities."

Ted Allen, Director, Kenyan Orphan Project

"You very clearly explained what type of insurance would be suitable for us and quoted an extremely reasonable price.
I cannot emphasize how pleasant and helpful you have been and congratulate you on the wonderful service you provide. Thank you."

Louise Cowan, Roslin Youth Club
