The Insurance Charities (the Charity) The Charity has served the insurance industry since 1902; providing essential financial and practical support to past and present insurance people, and their dependants, who experience financial hardship due to misfortune.

The Charity is governed by a Board of Trustees (the Board) of up to 13 individuals. Together, the Board is responsible for the overall direction, strategy and vision of the Charity in line with its aims and values. The Board has appointed three standing Committees responsible for closer work in the areas of Audit, Marketing and Grant Awards. Whilst the role of a Trustee carries legal and regulatory obligations, there are many positive aspects to this position and that of a non-Trustee Committee member which help an appointee on a personal and professional basis such as:

• opportunities to share knowledge and skills to benefit others
• opportunities to build self-confidence and experience committee work
• opportunities to acquire new skills through training, exposure to new information and ways of working and the sharing of experiences
• benefits of working as a team with others from different backgrounds who share a similar passion for a particular cause

The Charity is now looking to recruit an additional non-Trustee Committee member to join the Audit Committee with current knowledge and experience in the following area:

• Investment and asset management

Appointments will be made at the June 2023 Audit Committee meeting, following interviews with the CEO and Audit Committee Chairman.
