FCDO travel advice

"It was initially difficult for me to find a specialist travel business insurance provider, but we got a referral from another charity. The process and support we have had from the team since then has been good and the application process went well. We are not a specialist travel organisation, so the team helped with the application and answered all my questions. Having insurance is very important to our Trustees, especially when supporting families. This gives us the re assurance that if we had a problem as a charity, we will have the right support in place". - CEO The Getaway Foundation
