To mark the legacy of the Covid-19 Support Fund, the ABI (opens in a new tab) has become a National Emergencies Trust Appeal Partner, committing to utilise its powerful network of insurers and long-term savings providers to raise awareness and vital funds during UK disasters.
The Appeal Partners Programme brings together trusted organisations that share the Trust’s dedication to helping communities in times of urgent need. In the event of UK disasters, Appeal Partners use their expertise, networks, and resources to extend the reach and help amplify the Trust’s national fundraising appeals.
By joining as an Appeal Partner, the ABI will share fundraising details with its network of members and wider industry contacts to help raise awareness amongst those keen to support in times of local and national crisis.
Yvonne Braun, ABI Executive Lead, Covid-19 Support Fund and Director of Policy, Long-Term Savings and Health and Protection, said: “Insurers and long-term savings providers play a crucial role in the financial response to national crises. They see the impact these events have on people’s lives and are committed to helping communities recover and rebuild.
Mhairi Sharp, CEO of National Emergencies Trust, said: “When the private and charity sectors join forces, incredible things can happen - and we’ve already seen that in action with the impact of the Covid-19 Support Fund. Our Appeal Partners Programme is all about making that collaboration easier and faster in times of crisis, so we’re thrilled to welcome the ABI as our latest member. Their influence and connections will be a powerful force for good, when people across the UK need it most.”
