What’s the link between Charity Builder UK and Tennyson Insurance?

As it says in its logo Charity Builder is indeed a ‘Tennyson Insurance Initiative’.  We came up with the original idea, brought together the partners who contribute the content and then built the site.  We also fund the ongoing management and development of the site.  Throughout this process we have had a great deal of input and support from their two primary Charity Builder partners – NAVCA and beprofessional Ltd. 

Why have we done this?

Simon Wright, joint-MD, explains it like this - ‘When we began working with charities and voluntary groups we realised that HR and Health and Safety compliance were a real issue for many of them.  On one fateful day I spent the morning listening in at a seminar where a council officer demanded that local charities improve their performance and in the afternoon while travelling home I read a report that pointed out that charities suffer from a disproportionately high percentage of tribunals when compared to commercial organisations.    At the same time we were looking for a way to get our name known, we had considered conventional advertising but this seemed unimaginative and did nothing to help our customers.  The idea of Charity Builder gradually took shape over the coming weeks and, when we received a positive response from beprofessional (who supply the core HR content) we knew that we had to do it.’

Do we have to buy our insurance from Tennyson if we use Charity Builder UK?

No.  We do hope that if you like Charity Builder then you might contact us and see if we can save you money and give you great service on your insurance.
