How are our charitable donations spent?

The FACT Team

One of the unique points about the Insurancewith travel insurance policies with cancer cover is the £1 donation to charity for every policy sold. We support a couple of charities through the sales of our policies, one of which is Fighting All Cancers Together (FACT).  Today we have a guest blog from Joanne Smith the CEO and founder of FACT.  Joanne explains the importance the money Insurancewith donates has to the work FACT does and explains a little bit about what the money is used for.  Read more
