Insurance Charities Awareness Week is on its way

Authored by The Insurance Charities

Insurance Charities Awareness Week (ICAW) will take place between the 20 and 24 June this year.

The aim is to let the industry know about its dedicated Charity, and the financial and practical support available in times of need.

Please make a note in your diaries and let your Comms/Marketing/CSR teams know, so they can schedule ICAW activity alongside any other initiatives.

During the week, the Charity will be calling on you and your colleagues to:
