This year's Community Sport and Recreation Premier Award is sponsored by RSA. As a leading commercial insurer with a heritage that goes back over 300 years, RSA has a long-standing commitment to the sport and leisure sector and has enjoyed a close relationship with the Sport and Recreation Alliance since 1985.
RSA, working with expert sporting broker Perkins Slade, provides a broad level of Civil Liability insurance and Risk Management services and advice to members of the Sport and Recreation Alliance. Together they cover an enormous breadth of sports clubs and associations, including everything from Abseiling to Zorbing, and most in between.
Every year, RSA handles between 300–400 claims from this partnership, so they are highly experienced in keeping sports associations moving.
Gez McDonagh, Liability Lead Underwriter at RSA, believes it is vital that sports organisations have cover that meets their specific needs.
"Serious accidents can be life changing. Not only for those suffering injury but also for those having to deal with incidents. That is why the importance of Risk Management should never be underestimated. It drives effective safety planning, preventing and reducing the likelihood of accidents, and safeguarding the reputation of sports clubs by creating a safe environment for people on and off the field.
Risk advice from RSA and Perkins Slade helps to protect businesses and people from illness and injury. That includes everyone from sports participants and spectators, to contractors, visitors and volunteers.
One of the reasons we support the awards is to highlight the important role insurance plays in safe sport. Another major reason is we believe the positive impact clubs have on our communities should be rewarded and RSA wants to be part of that."
If your Civil Liability insurance is due for renewal then it's worth contacting Perkins Slade to see how you can get their (and RSA's) unrivalled expertise working for you.
