On the 12th day of Christmas…

On the 12th day of Christmas, what can brokers do? 

Specialist insurance provider Ecclesiastical is planning to give £120,000 to good causes as part of its 12 days of Christmas campaign. And it is encouraging brokers to nominate a registered charity to receive a festive financial boost.

Nominations are open from 9 November to 21 December and winners will be drawn at random. Last year more than 800 brokers voted. In the words of Ant and Dec – get voting.

When life give you lemonade…

Over in the US, insurtech Lemonade is providing clean water in Cambodia and Malawi in partnership with a non-profit organisation charity. Its Lemonade Giveback programme donates unclaimed premiums to good causes.

According to Water.org, more than three million people in Cambodia lack access to clean water and five million do not have access to improved sanitation. The situation has been deemed a crisis due to the Covid-19 pandemic

And in the spirit of giving, Lemonade has partnered with artist José Peña to release custom artwork and animations depicting the pair’s partnership.
