Specialist insurer publishes new guide for charities on risks emerging from new ways of working

Gloucester, England (PRWEB UK) 18 May 2012
Specialist charity insurance provider Ecclesiastical has today published a new guide for charities on minimising risks emerging from structural changes and changing charity business models. The new publication aims to give not-for-profit organisations advice on how to manage risks ahead of mergers, in collaborative working and public service provision arrangements and when setting up new types of charity business enterprise.
The guide comes in response to a survey carried out by Ecclesiastical in late 2011 which found that 26% of the charities questioned were considering consolidating or merging with another charity in the next few years, 23% said they had already restructured, 18% said they were setting up a new social enterprise and 9% were becoming a Community Interest Company.
The document entitled Preparing to meet the demands of changing times considers issues around and gives advice on collaborative working, charity mergers, setting up Social Enterprises and Community Interest Companies, and bidding for public service contracts. In addition to practical guidance, the report also includes a number of case studies from charities who have experience in all the above areas, including Carers Trust and the Terrence Higgins Trust.
Martyn Turner, Charity and Community Underwriting Manager at Ecclesiastical, said: Our research clearly showed that the charity sector is bracing itself for significant changes in the coming years. It comes as no surprise that charities are responding to the current tough economic times by re-evaluating their business models and many are planning to implement structural changes in the near future.
Although times are extremely tough for charities, there are also new opportunities, such as the increase in public service contracts available for bids. With the right kind of advice and support charities should be able to take up new opportunities that are right for them with minimum risk and maximum benefit.
There is plenty of helpful advice from experts already out there on this topic, but nothing detailed addressing the key insurance issues and risk management. We hope that the advice weve compiled into this report will be a great help for any charity on the verge of change.
The new guide will be launched at the Charity Finance Groups Annual Conference in London today. An electronic copy of the document is now also available to download free on Ecclesiasticals website at http://www.ecclesiastical.com/fororganisations/insurance/charityinsurance/guidanceadviceandsupport/changing-times/index.aspx.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) May 17, 2012
Permanent cosmetic pioneer, Sandi Hammons, and her daughter, Jordan, are set to appear on TLCs hit show Say YES to the Dress: Bridesmaids Friday May 18, 2012 at 9:30 EST.
“Say YES to the Dress” is TLC’s latest hit show that follows in the footsteps of past successful reality TV hits like: Miami Ink, Toddlers and Tiaras, The Little Couple, 19 Kids and Counting and many others.
The show, which reaches on average 1.7 million viewers per episode, follows brides-to-be and their entourage through the emotional and drama-filled bridal dress buying experience. While the show got its start from spotlighting brides choosing their own wedding dress, it has now lifted the veil on what it is like for brides and wedding parties to choose the notorious bridesmaids dress.
Jordan Hammons, a Texas Wesleyan Law Student, her mother and bridesmaids traveled to Atlanta, Georgia last August in search for the perfect bridesmaid dresses at the famous salon Bridals by Lori.
Jordan explains, I have grown up using the finest products and putting my best foot forward; I knew my wedding day had to be nothing short of the best!
Sandi agrees, Lori and her team of experts not only offered great knowledge and opinions on industry fashions, but also advice and a sympathetic ear on how to handle this great adventure of my only daughters wedding.
Be warned though – the episode isnt just full of love, luxurious fabric, and sweet moments. Dont worry reality TV fans; this episode is stuffed with drama and ups-and-downs. My entire wedding experience was basically summarized in 30 minutes. The occasion was absolutely crazy, unforgettable, and at the same time unconditionally heartwarming, says Jordan Hammons.
Now for the big question – Will everyone leave happy and say YES! or will history stand true and leave a gaggle of gals miserable in their blissful frocks? Tune into TLC tonight at 9:30pm EST to find out on Say YES to the Dress: Bridesmaids!
