Building stronger charities. Creating stronger communities.
Ansvar Insurance is a specialist insurer of the charity, faith and not-for-profit sector. With a deep understanding of the pressures organisations like Justlife face, Ansvar goes far beyond insurance, investing time, space and energy into strengthening the sector.
We’re proud to partner with Ansvar, who have been generous supporters of Justlife since 2024.
The Ansvar Community Hub
Charities are operating in unprecedented times. Demand for services is rising due to the cost-of-living crisis. Government funding is being cut. Donations are declining. At the same time, operational costs are increasing. Organisations are being asked to do more with less. Recognising these pressures, Ansvar made it a priority during its 2024 head office move to Brighton to secure space large enough to support more than just its own team. In March 2024, it launched the Ansvar Community Hub.
A space designed for charities
The vision was simple: a dedicated hub where charities can connect, collaborate, share knowledge and build stronger communities. The Hub is more than a free workspace. It’s a vibrant, fully accessible space where charity staff and volunteers can:
- Hot-desk
- Meet and collaborate
- Deliver training
- Host events
- Network and build partnerships
Free training shaped by charities
Training is vital for growth, but often out of reach due to cost. Ansvar hosts free quarterly sessions on topics chosen by charities themselves, including fundraising, risk management and impact measurement. These hybrid events provide practical tools and create valuable opportunities for connection across the sector. When the Hub first launched, some charities were understandably sceptical about why a corporate organisation would offer such a facility for free. Through social media, sector press coverage and a well-attended launch event, trust grew. Today, the Hub is thriving and helping strengthen the local charity sector. For Ansvar, it has also deepened relationships with the organisations it serves. Charities openly share what they need, how their challenges are evolving and what support would help them most.
