How is the cost-of-living crisis impacting charities?

As specialist charity insurance brokers, we have launched our charity cost-of-living survey that aims to uncover how significant increases in costs are impacting charities’ day-to-day operations and how fundraising is currently being affected.

Each charity that completes the five-minute survey will be entered into a free prize draw to receive £100 toward their operational costs.

The survey is now open for charities to respond and will close on the 17th February 2023. Our team will highlight and publicise any relevant findings.

Chris Chapman, WRS’ Associate Director said: “We know that things are really tough for charities at the moment, rising operational costs coupled with a squeeze on donations are having a massive impact. Through this survey, we are looking to see if there is anything we as a company can do to highlight the problems facing charities or even ease this pressure in any way.”

If by carrying out this research it means we can tailor our insurance offerings to make a positive difference to good causes it will be time very well spent. As a business, we have supported churches, faith groups and charities with advice on risk management and insurance solutions for over 40 years. The WRS team are dedicated to delivering high service standards and empathy with our clients.”
