Village Halls Plus Group

Zurich has teamed up with the Village Halls Plus Group (VHPG) to develop a specific insurance policy to meet the needs of Village Halls.   The Village Halls Plus policy provides:

• public liability cover with a £6,000,000 indemnity limit
• hirers' liability cover of up to £2,000,000 which covers community groups and individuals using the premises  who would otherwise find it difficult to buy public liability insurance at a reasonable price
• trustees indemnity with a £500,000 limit
• automatic special events cover involving less than 100 people and non-hazardous activity, with extended cover available for larger events
• public liability cover for hall volunteers and committee members whether they are on or off the premises
• premiums generally linked to the reinstatement value of the hall
• employers' liability cover, which is a legal requirement if you have employees. 

The Village Halls Plus Group is made up of three charitable Rural Community Councils (RCCs) who have been running successful Village Halls insurance schemes with Zurich for a number of years.  Using their unique insight into the daily issues of Village Halls, they are able to provide expert support and a simple service ensuring Village Halls have confidence that they have the necessary insurance covers in place and are receiving value for money.

Charities Trustee Network

Charity Trustee Networks (CTN) and Zurich have responded to the unease of charity trustees concerning their legal liabilities by creating a membership scheme, trusteenet plus. Members of trusteenet plus receive a tailored Trustee Indemnity Insurance “safety-net scheme” as well as additional benefits in the form of support and best practice advice which helps them in the trustee role.

The scheme provides individual trustee members with cover for any work carried out on behalf of all of the charities they represent, as well as any claims costs. In addition, Zurich provides support in the event that a claim is made against a trustee.   The scheme ensures that Trustees:

• are protected personally for their involvement in their chosen charitable trust
• receive professional and confidential support from an experienced Zurich team, who will help them defend any claim should it arise.
