Ecclesiastical Insurance
Ecclesiastical is a specialist insurance company with 130 years of experience offering deep expertise and protection. We have been operating in Ireland since 1980 and specialise in church, charity, education, heritage, fine art and property owners insurance.
Our Irish team is based primarily in EastPoint Business Park in Dublin and services 32 counties ensuring visibility to brokers and customers and security in the knowledge that our claims and risk management services are managed and distributed locally
We are part of Ecclesiastical Group which is based in the UK and also operates businesses in Canada and Australia.
In the world of financial services, Ecclesiastical treads a different path.
For us, charitable giving is not something we do as part of our corporate responsibility programme, or to meet our reporting obligations. Instead, it’s the very reason we exist. This is because, unlike others in our sector, our sole purpose is to contribute to the greater good of society.
A significant proportion of our profits are channelled towards funding good causes, through independent grants from our charitable owner or our own considerable donations to the communities we serve.
This very different purpose means we are able to do business in a very different way. Yes, we work hard to be successful, so our growing profits can be used to help even more people who find themselves in need. But we also strive to be the most trusted and caring business in our chosen markets. A business that supports its customers not just by giving them first-class service and products, but by prioritising their needs should the worst happen.
It is for this reason that for over 130 years, we have been trusted to protect so much of the heritage and history in the countries where we operate.
We have been helping to protect not-for-profit organisations in Ireland for over 35 years. Today we insure charities, voluntary organisations, community interest companies and much more
We are owned by a charity ourselves and our goal is to be the most trusted and ethical specialist financial services group in our chosen markets . In the UK we are the fourth largest corporate giver on The Guide to UK Company Giving and our employees have delivered hundreds of hours in volunteer time.
Our understanding of the charity sector means we are able to support our charity customers in many ways.
We understand the importance of helping charities to prevent incidents that could interrupt their work. Our highly-skilled team offer professional building valuations and risk management tools and guidance to our customers, all as part of the service*.
We hold relationships with key charity bodies such as the Charities Institute Ireland and CO3 Belfast. This enables us to keep up-to-date with best practice in the sector and share this with our customers.
Our in-house claims handlers will take a proactive approach to handling your claim. Their experience handling charity liability claims enables them to protect your charity’s best interests.
We provide insurance for charities, community groups, charitable trusts, voluntary organisations, community interest companies and more. Cover can include options from the following:
