You quote, we donate

On 1 October we launched a charity initiative – ‘You Quote, We Donate’ - whereby when advisers who have a Terms of Business Agreement with us obtain an online quote from us, they can pick one of three charities to whom we will donate £1. The donation window is per quarter.

At the start of September we asked advisers to help select the three charities. We invited them to nominate a charity they felt we should support. We asked that they nominated charities that were close to their heart and particularly supported families when a loved one dies or suffers a serious disability – an extension of what our business is about as a whole. We delighted that so many advisers took the time to nominate very worthy causes and shared their personal experiences relating to their charity nomination.After reviewing all the charity nominations, the three charities that were selected for the first quarter are:

Mike Picken from Henderson Employee Benefits nominated Reuben's Retreat, which offers a countryside retreat for families and their close friends who have suffered the bereavement of a child or have a child suffering from a life limiting or life threatening illness.

Charlie Bolam from HFM Columbus Partners has nominated Queen Elizabeth's Foundation for Disabled People. QEF is a leading disability charity working with people with physical and learning disabilities or acquired brain injuries to help them gain new skills and increase independence for life.

Hannah Genge from Punter Southall has nominated Motor Neurone Disease Association. They do all that they can to enable everybody living with MND to receive the best care, achieve the highest possible quality of life and to die with dignity.

When an adviser completes an online quote, they choose which of these three charities they would like our money to go to.  In December, we will let them know how much has been raised for each charity.

We will also review the charities we are supporting every quarter, so if you would like to propose one, please send an email to youquotewedonate@ellipse.co.uk with the details.
