OUR WORK WITH SHELTER
Our Risk business benefits from a strong housing market, through our own products and our partnerships across the market. We sell insurance to cover the homes these mortgages buy and cover the life insurance needs of the people and the families who buy these homes.
We felt it was important to put something back into this market. Our partnership with Shelter is the way we have chosen to do this. Earlier this year, we sponsored a major new report by Shelter called ‘Groundbreaking’. This report is being used to lobby government and local authorities into looking at new ways of providing quality housing across all the housing tenures.
We are also supporting a project in Gloucestershire to prevent teenage homelessness and helping Shelter develop regional housing support services across the South West and North East of England. By partnering with Shelter, we are introducing them to market information they would not naturally have access to and in return they provide us access to researchers, think tanks and people we would not ordinarily meet, helping us to identify new opportunities in typically unexplored markets.
