Key Messages About the Covid-19 Support Fund
- The UK insurance and long-term savings industry launched the Covid-19 Support Fund to help support some of the people hardest hit by the Covid-19 crisis.
- To date, £84 million has already been pledged in voluntary contributions from firms within the sector. The Fund is working in partnership with the Charities Aid Foundation, and a network of partners, including the National Emergencies Trust and Business in the Community to deliver funds to beneficiaries throughout the UK.
- The key aim is to provide immediate relief to charities affected by Covid-19, as well as a longer-term programme of support for people, communities, and issues where there is the greatest need, including:
- Community based charities that are under unprecedented strain
- Charities supporting the most vulnerable – in particular, families and children living in poverty and older people in isolation
- Initiatives to promote wellbeing and mental health across society
