TORONTO, ON, JUNE 23, 2022/insPRESS/ – His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales joined hundreds of beneficiaries at a Service of Thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey as Ecclesiastical Insurance’s parent group celebrated its achievement of giving over £100 million ($160 million CDN) to good causes.

Mark Hews, Group Chief Executive of Benefact Group, said: “Our Service of Thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey was a wonderful celebration of our achievement of donating £100million to good causes, which has helped to change thousands of lives for the better.

It is a clear and compelling “why”. It is something that motivates each of us to give our best, to provide outstanding trusted service, and to grow our Group family so we can give back even more.”
Representatives from Ecclesiastical Canada attended the service and carried a flag on behalf of the Canadian team.
