Insurer NFU Mutual has fully distributed a £2m fund to support local frontline charities amid the Covid-19 pandemic and to help communities recover from the crisis.
The Agency Giving Fund was announced earlier this year to give the insurer’s network of agencies the chance to nominate frontlines charities to “receive a donation during these challenging times”.
This has been fully distributed to more than 300 charities UK wide, according to the insurer.
Our fund has now been fully distributed, and we’re delighted to share this update on how it is helping more than 300 charities across the UK to provide life-changing services throughout the pandemic.
