Access Insurance Proudly Supports the New Charity Heroes Awards
LONDON, June 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Access Insurance, a leading specialist charity insurance broker, is thrilled to announce its support for the newly launched Charity Heroes Awards, an initiative by the Benefact Group designed to celebrate the incredible work of charities and their people.
The Charity Heroes Awards aim to recognise charities in a genuine and accessible way. Access Insurance is particularly excited to support the Charity Leader of the Year category, which spotlights inspirational CEOs and senior managers who have championed causes and inspired positive change.
“We are delighted to support these new awards which put the great work that charities are doing at the centre, and don’t cost anything for them to participate in” said Simon Hickman, CEO of Access Insurance. “Charities and their leaders work tirelessly to make a difference, often with limited resources. These awards provide a platform to recognise their exceptional efforts and leadership.”
The Charity Heroes Awards offer a simple entry process, requiring just a 250-word pitch for various categories, including Local Community Initiative, Climate Action Project, Volunteer of the Year and Digital Fundraising Initiative. Category winners will receive a £5,000 donation to their charity, while runners-up will receive £1,000 donations.
The free awards ceremony will be held on 28th November at the iconic Tower of London, a venue insured by the Benefact Group, providing a truly memorable experience for all shortlisted.
Mark Hews, Group Chief Executive of Benefact Group, says: “We are delighted to announce the launch of Benefact Group’s Charity Heroes Awards 2024. This new Awards programme celebrates and supports charities working tirelessly to make positive change. Benefact Group is a family of award-winning specialist financial services companies and the third largest corporate donor to charity in the UK. Owned by a charity ourselves, charitable giving is at the heart of what we do. All of our available profits go to good causes and the more the Group grows, the more the Group can give.”
Access Insurance encourages charities, volunteers, and senior leaders to use this opportunity and submit their nominations before the deadline of July 26th, 2024.
