Over the past two years our Circus and Physical Theatre members have increasingly been reaching out for support with specific challenges they are facing regarding insurance. These include increasing premium costs, difficulty securing insurance for some activities and in general a shrinking pool of brokers who want to engage with and understand the sector's needs.

We have been in conversation with several brokers to advocate for coverage that meets all the current needs of the sector at an affordable price. This short survey will help us understand exactly what your needs are right now.
