HI Joan, unable to recommend any insurance broker or provide you with quotes; however below is a list of insurance brokers that Community First know to have insured community projects in the past. They were past on to me as they specifically provide insurance for village halls but that would give them a good insight into insuring community projects in general. Hope this helps. Matt Lennard

I had a phone call this morning from a village hall chair He wanted to share some experience he’s had with insurance renewal this year. His original quote was £781. He decided to phone around different insurers to get some other quotes, and the quotes ranged from £1370 to £636! So he called the company providing the original quote back and they revised his quote down to £624. Hence he’s saved about £150 for the year which is a substantial amount for them.
