WRS Insurance Brokers has announced the launch of a new quote and buy insurance system tailored for small charities.
Based in Colchester, WRS specialises in providing insurance cover for the charity and social welfare sectors. The new system is designed to offer a fast, convenient, and user-friendly way for small charities to purchase insurance.
With over 50 years' experience in insuring charities, social care, and community enterprises, WRS Insurance Brokers has developed the quote and buy system based on client feedback. This feedback has helped identify the key features needed for an efficient and effective insurance purchasing process.
Gungor Baykan (pictured above), broker manager at WRS Insurance Brokers, noted that flexibility and convenience are crucial for small charities when purchasing insurance.
“In the past, we've had requests through late in the evening and at weekends, from charities who needed last minute, immediate cover. By the time the office had reopened, it was sometimes too late for us to help. Now, an online quote from our new system takes less than five minutes to complete and the whole policy purchase process can be easily completed twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, providing much needed peace of mind,” Baykan said.
The platform is available for small charities with a turnover of under £250,000, an annual wage roll of under £100,000, and fewer than 100 volunteers. Policies available through the system include essential coverages such as public and products liability up to £5 million, employers' liability, trustees and directors' indemnity, and legal expenses up to £250,000.
The insurance cover is underwritten by charity insurance experts Ansvar, the broker’s sibling firm under the larger charity specialist enterprise Benefact Group.

“We are pleased to be underwriting this scheme and working with WRS. Together we can help small charities have efficient processes in place to help make their lives as easy as possible, giving them the time to focus on providing valuable services to their local communities. The WRS Quote and Buy package policy includes all of the necessary cover we know small charities need. It's easy to use and makes buying insurance straightforward,” Ansvar Insurance strategic delivery manager Sam Harrison said.
WRS Insurance Brokers specialises in the social welfare sector, providing business and property insurance from an ethical standpoint through A-rated insurers and charitable ownership. The company offers tailor-made insurance cover for charities, churches, care, and community groups.
