Insurance is a vital and necessary part of running a group. It is highly recommended you have this. There is a common misconception that if the building you hire has it then you would won't need it, this isn't accurate.
Charity public liability insurance isn't a legal requirement but is one of the most common types of insurance and it isn't just for fundraising events. It provides cover if you are sued for damaging someone’s property or injuring someone such as a volunteer, beneficiary or member of the public.
