The number of different insurances available is increasing all the time and it is becoming possible to insure yourself and your organisation against every conceivable risk. However it can be difficult to know what is actually necessary and appropriate for the needs of your organisation and what is not or even not allowed. There are a few basic types of insurance that the majority of groups will usually need to have. There is then a further group of insurances which, due to the size or the specific activities of a group, may be necessary.
