I am honoured to be the current President of the Insurance Institute of Shropshire & Mid Wales, in my role I have become increasingly aware of the work carried out by the Insurance Charities http://www.theinsurancecharities.org.uk/ in helping those people (and their partners and families) who have worked in the industry and subsequently fallen upon hard times. The Insurance Charities does great work in supporting those with financial difficulties, illness, disability, family problems, addiction, education issues and many other social problems.

To help raise money for this good cause, myself and several officers and members of the local institute council are challenging themselves with a race on the 20th September 2009.

ALAN RICHARDSON (President) will be taking part in the BERLIN MARATHON

LYNNE WILLIAMS (Education Secretary and Immediate Past President) BECCI MILARD (Treasurer & Past President), DAVE VANNER, (Charities Rep & Past President) and ANDREW LEAR (Council Member & Past President) will at the same time be running the SHREWSBURY SEVEN BRIDGES 10KM RACE.

This is a big challenge for all concerned and we would really appreciate your support, thank you for your donation or sponsorship.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

We sincerely appreciate any donations or sponsorship that you kindly provide, Thank you.

Kind Regards

Alan

 

 

 

The Insurance Charities was established in 1902 and has helped many thousands of people in an extraordinary variety of ways. It is a charity that helps the young and the old; those who struggle to make ends meet and those faced with a sudden calamity of illness; and those struggling to cope with a child’s special needs whether those be through disability or special educational requirements. The range is endless. Expert advice helps many people find the right support and direct financial assistance is provided to meet a wide range of needs.

Many people desperately in need of our support are unaware of our existence, and we welcome either direct enquiries or applications via a third party such as a company's welfare department or other charitable organisation.
