Organising a charity event or fundraiser is stressful enough without having to worry about something going wrong.
Thankfully there are plenty of steps that you can take to reduce the risk of having to cancel your event, but as is always the case, problems can occur from nowhere, and are sometimes beyond our control. At ThirdSectorProtect we appreciate the devastation that occurs when cancelling an event, that’s why we offer event cancellation cover which can protect you against the irrecoverable costs and expenses that may occur as a result of a cancelled event.
Event cancellation insurance compensates for any financial loss following cancellation, disruption, postponement or relocation of an event for reasons out of your control.

A multiple events insurance policy provides you with the flexibility of cover for each individual event under one straightforward policy.
If your insuring multiple events from different locations over the course of the year it can be time consuming and costly to insure each of these individually. Fortunately, a multiple events insurance policy provides you with the flexibility of cover for each individual event under one straightforward premium.
Whatever the nature of your event, there are covers available to suit your needs. From basic covers such as public liability and employers liability to more specialist risks such as equipment used at the event.
| How close to the event can I arrange cover? |
| Its always the best idea to arrange insurance for your event as early as possible to ensure the best value for money. All circumstances that exist at the time the policy is taken out are excluded, so the later the purchase the more likely a disruption will be excluded. In addition it’s not usually possible to arrange adverse weather cover less than 2 weeks prior to the start of the event. |
| Why might charities need event cancellation insurance? |
| As with every not-for-profit, every charity event is different. Unique risks such as quantity of attendees, whether the event takes place indoors or outdoors and whether the atmosphere is lively or intimate will affect the cover you need. If you think you could benefit from an event cancellation policy, get in touch with the ThirdSectorProtect experts to see how we can help you. |
