Charities Awareness Week

We are getting close now to Insurance Charities Awareness Week which starts on June 20th.

The display boxes will be sent out in the next week to arrive with all the companies who have signed up week beginning June 13th.

We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has been involved in getting their local companies signed up, we are still getting a few requests coming in but so far have over 200 offices in the UK and Ireland taking part which is fantastic.

We will be using the hashtag #ICAW to share any news regarding the event on our twitter account @InsCharities We have a few events running during the awareness week.

In London on the 21st and in Birmingham on the 22nd June we are hosting an event entitled ‘Managing mental health and developmental disability in the workplace’ aimed at anyone who manages staff in the insurance sector.

Sign up is free and we currently have places at both events so if you, or anyone in your network, would like to attend please get in touch. (And feel free to share this information with anyone you think may be interested).

At these events we will have specialists from the sector discussing employing staff with mental health issues and disabilities, practical pointers for employers, the challenges faced and how these can be overcome.

Speakers from Autism Alliance and Depression Alliance (Mind) will be talking along with a first-hand case study on what it is like to work with depression. Our London event is being held at the spectacular Minster Court, with fantastic views of the City. We will provide a buffet breakfast before the event. It runs from 8am – 10.30am. Our Birmingham event is being hosted at the Hotel Du Vin as part of the Birmingham CII’s lunchtime lecture series and lunch will be provided. It runs from 12.30pm to 2pm.

On Thursday 23rd the London Phoenix Orchestra will be playing music from classic film scores at Cadogan Hall in London, and raising money for us in the process. If you would like to escape the referendum fever come and join us for what promises to be a great night: http://www.theinsurancecharities.org.uk/take-break-referendum-join-us-hear-london-phoenix-orchestra/ If you would like any more information about any of the above or have any questions then please do get in touch.
