We’re excited to announce that our charity fundraising this year has been given a significant boost.
Our friends at Ecclesiastical Insurance have generously offered to provide an additional £500 for each of our chosen charities this year, as part of their Closer To You scheme. Their mission is to give £100 million to charity by 2020, and one way they’re doing that is by giving donations directly to charities chosen by a selection of the brokers they collaborate with.
Every year the CLEAR awards celebrate staff excellence across the business. Whilst it's certainly taken us longer than usual to announce the winners of these prestigious annual employee awards, we are tremendously proud of their exceptional contributions to the business.
Each year, the Cockpit Arts/CLEAR Insurance Award celebrates the work of professional designer-makers, and each year we receive numerous exciting, intriguing, innovative entries from across the UK.
But there can only be one winner – and for 2019, we’re very pleased to announce that it’s ceramic artist Ula Saniawa.
This year our Leamington Spa office have chosen to support Myton Hospice as our Charity of the Year. This amazing charity offers specialist palliative and end of life care for the people of Coventry and Warwickshire.

The winner receives a match funded studio place at Cockpit Arts - worth £2500* - plus an insurance package specially tailored for craftspeople from us at CLEAR, and more (interested?

Every year, each of our offices nominate a selection of charities that they’d like to support with fundraising over the course of the following 12 months.
CLEAR’s charity commission then makes the final decision on who each office will support. They’ve now reviewed this year’s nominations, and, taking into consideration our stated aim to concentrate on smaller, local charities over the next 12 months, they’ve made their decision.
Cyber-criminals are increasingly targeting charities as they see them as soft targets with vulnerabilities they can easily exploit.
As the days grow shorter, and wet and wintry conditions set in, the risk of slipping outside in wet or icy conditions increases.
While small-to-medium sized businesses up and down the country have the most to gain from cutting staff sick leave, a stubborn misconception persists that healthcare insurance is a luxury that only larger employers can afford.
