Are you properly protected?

Running a club or association involves more than bringing people together. From looking after members and volunteers to managing premises, equipment and activities, there are risks that need careful consideration.

01

Members & Visitors

Clubs welcome members, guests and visitors. Accidents or injuries involving people on your premises or taking part in activities can lead to potential claims.

02

Buildings & Facilities

Clubhouses, changing rooms, pitches and other facilities need protection against risks such as fire, flooding, theft and accidental damage.

03

Employees & Volunteers

Whether you employ staff or rely on volunteers, you have responsibilities for the people who help keep your organisation running.

04

Sports & Club Activities

Training sessions, competitions, social activities and organised events can all introduce different risks that should be considered.

05

Committees & Trustees

Committee members and trustees make important decisions. Their responsibilities can expose them to allegations of mismanagement or wrongful decisions.

06

Equipment & Property

Sports equipment, machinery, furniture, stock and other valuable items may need protection against loss, theft or damage.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Clubs & Associations Insurance FAQs

Some of the questions organisations ask when arranging or reviewing their insurance.

What insurance does a club or association need?

This depends on the organisation and the activities it carries out. Common considerations include public liability, employers' liability, buildings and contents, equipment and trustees' or management liability. We can help you identify which covers are relevant to your circumstances.

Do sports clubs need public liability insurance?

Public liability insurance can help protect a club against certain claims involving injury to third parties or damage to their property arising from its activities. It is worth considering for clubs welcoming members, visitors and spectators.

Are volunteers covered by club insurance?

This depends on the wording of your policy. Some policies can include cover for volunteers, but you should check who is insured and what activities are covered rather than assuming all volunteers are automatically protected.

Does our club need employers' liability insurance?

Employers' liability insurance is generally a legal requirement if you employ staff in the UK, subject to certain exemptions. Whether your organisation needs it will depend on its employment arrangements and circumstances.

Can our clubhouse and equipment be insured?

Buildings and contents insurance may be available to protect eligible club premises, furniture, sports equipment and other property against specified insured events. The sums insured should reflect the cost of rebuilding or replacing the items.

Are club events and tournaments covered?

Some policies may cover certain organised events and activities, while others may require additional cover or specific agreement from the insurer. Always check that competitions, tournaments, fundraising events and other activities are included.

Can committee members and trustees be protected?

Trustees' and management liability insurance may provide protection against certain claims arising from decisions and management responsibilities. The cover available will depend on the organisation and policy wording.

How often should we review our club insurance?

You should review your insurance at least annually and whenever there are significant changes. This could include employing staff, purchasing equipment, extending premises, increasing membership or introducing new activities.
