Ryan Parker, from PIB Insurance Brokers– sponsors of this year’s CFG Annual Conference – shares what this year’s theme means to them and explains what makes this must-attend event so special.
PIB Insurance are strong supporters of CFG’s Annual Conference, having sponsored the drinks reception for the past four years. What does this year’s Annual Conference theme – Strong Foundations, Lasting Impact – mean to you in the context of your work?
‘Strong Foundations, Lasting Impact’, perfectly reflects the ethos of our dedicated Charity insurance team. Our work is centred on helping charities build strong foundations through tailored insurance solutions, comprehensive risk management, and expert guidance on good governance and compliance. By making sure our clients have the right measures, protection and support in place, we enable them to focus on their work with confidence.
Of course, a strong foundation goes beyond insurance policies; it’s about providing the security and resilience which charities need to be able to navigate challenges and embrace new opportunities. With our support, charities can focus on delivering essential services and creating meaningful, long-term impact in their communities and to those who need them most.
In essence, we help our clients build a strong foundation for long-term success, ensuring their positive impact continues well into the future.
If you could share one piece of advice about building a strong foundation and/or creating lasting impact, what would it be?
To prioritise resilience from the start. For charities, this means having the right insurance and risk management strategies in place – not just to protect against the unexpected, but to create stability that allows their work to thrive both now and in the future.
How would you describe the conference to someone who has never been?
We’ve supported the annual conference for many years, it’s a day dedicated to sharing insights, discussing current challenges facing the charity community, and learning together. It offers a valuable opportunity to engage with peers across the sector.
What are you looking forward to most about the day? What will be the highlights?
We’re looking forward to reconnecting with our existing clients, meeting new contacts across the sector, and sharing insurance and risk management advice that will support organisations.
What would you say to those thinking about coming along to the Conference but still need to book?
Book, it’s your opportunity to connect with experts in the charity sector.
