Allied Westminster is a major name in the provision of Village Hall Insurance.

We have built a substantial and growing client base through our ability to offer extremely competitive premiums for Village Halls right across the United Kingdom. This has been achieved not at the expense of quality of cover or the service provided, but rather through the careful and considered low-risk element that village halls represent.
 
Many insurers will provide cover for village halls, however their underwriting and resultant premium calculations are derived from a broad base of source data. This may well include other community or civic buildings with higher insurance risk, often extending into urban and suburban geographical areas. VillageGuard is a policy that has been designed very specifically for village halls, and in so doing the premium calculations are based strictly on the risk criteria that only village halls represent. Accordingly the competitive premiums offered through VillageGuard represent a clear understanding of village halls, reflecting the very high standards of management and maintenance that village halls are subject to.
 
When your village hall insurance falls due for renewal, then you should seek a VillageGuard quotation. We are certain that you will be more than pleased with both the premiums we offer, together with the very high levels of service and support our personnel are able to provide.
 
Village halls play an important role in the community as they provide a facility for social, recreational and cultural activity. VillageGuard is an insurance policy that comprehensively reflects the true value of village halls, provides outstanding value for money, and total peace of mind.
 
Please note for our joint protection telephone calls may be recorded or monitored.

We understand that village halls play an important role in the community as they provide a facility for social, recreational and cultural activity. They provide a focus for rural communities. While halls are varied, the main things they have in common are their use in terms of community events and meetings, lunch clubs, polling stations, Women's Institute events, police liaison, farmers' markets, conferences, wedding receptions, school events, the list goes on.
 
Village Hall Trustees, while being capable of identifying their own needs and problems, often experience difficulty in seeking not only insurance that best suits their needs, but as important with premiums that best reflect the very high standards of management and maintenance that village halls are subject to. Our mission is to constantly meet that challenge.
