Charities and individuals around the world are being given the opportunity to pay homage to the millions of people around the world who give their time for free to others, as we celebrate Volunteer Recognition Day on 20th April.
As specialists dealing in the care and social welfare insurance sectors, McClarrons work closely with a wide range of organisations and get to see the invaluable work that these charities and their volunteers carry out every day.
What McClarrons Head of Care & Social Welfare – Jonathan Copley Had to Say
McClarrons’ Head of Care and Social Welfare, Jonathan Copley said, “Working so closely with care homes and charities every day to understand their business and its processes really allows you to appreciate the invaluable role volunteers play in these organisations. Being involved with a huge variety of charities allows me to understand the intricacies involved with running such organisations and the integral role volunteers play in providing services to their community. It is a truly humbling experience to be involved with these companies and to see the work they do”.
What Dr Ava Easton had to say on the role of Volunteers within The Encephalitis Society
Dr Ava Easton, Chief Executive of local charity The Encephalitis Society, whom McClarrons support said: “Volunteers are the lifeblood of The Society. We are a small charity which provides a service to people around the world. Without the dedication of our volunteers giving up their free time, our work would be so much tougher and the number of people we are able to reach – and help – much more limited.”
McClarrons Say Thank You Volunteer Recognition Day
Countless hours are spent by volunteering individuals to make a difference to people’s lives – even saving them – providing comfort to animals, and working hard to maintain the integrity of our natural environment. McClarrons would like to take this opportunity to thank those people who give up their time to help others and for making our community a great place to both live and work.
How McClarrons can help with insurance for volunteers
Insurance is complex and if you are running a charitable organisation or a community group, we would always recommend seeking specialist insurance advice. The McClarrons Care & Social Welfare insurance team will be able to talk you through your various options of cover, the benefits of each, as well as the risks of not having certain policies, and guide you on the areas of insurance that would be most appropriate for your specific business and activities.
