Citynet Insurance Brokers contribute towards Cobra London Markets charity project to keep “The Blood Bikers” wheels spinning for an entire year!

Here at Citynet Insurance Brokers, we are no strangers to helping our community with every chance we get. Throughout 2019, we have been sponsoring local youth sports clubs in the UK and Ireland (football, rugby, boxing), school holiday clubs, etc.

This time, we have risen to the challenge of helping the community yet again by contributing towards Cobra London Markets’ chosen charity – SERV (Service by Emergency Rider Volunteers)  to raise sufficient money to sponsor a blood bike’s fuel costs for a year.

SERV is the name used by a number of blood bike charities based in England, whose volunteers provide a motorcycle courier service, free of charge, to the National Health Service and the air ambulance charities. Their volunteers work outside normal office hours and use either their own or the charity’s dedicated response motorcycles to transport items such as blood for transfusion, blood samples for pathological or microbiological analysis, drugs, patient notes, x-rays, scans, medical equipment, samples, vaccines and donated human breast milk.

The Blood Bikers are totally funded by public donation and Citynet together with Cobra London Markets saw an opportunity to help the community when it needs it most.

Unite against Dementia for the Insurance Day of Giving!

Insurance Day of Giving” gets Citynet Insurance Brokers involved once again in the fight against Dementia.

We have had a tremendous day at Citynet HQ, raising funds for the ‘Insurance Day of Giving 2019’.

Almost half of the 300,000 people working in the UK insurance sector will be affected by dementia either directly or through a loved one. Despite this, a great deal of stigma still remains. By bringing dementia into the conversation, we can raise vital awareness and show colleagues that they don’t have to face dementia alone.

Last year, the Day of Giving raised an incredible £70,000 for research into the cause, care, cure, and prevention of dementia. This year the goal is £100,000.

This campaign, meant to help people affected, is part of the Insurance United Against Dementia (IUAD) and has now the backing of more than 50 insurance firms. As an Alzheimer’s Society initiative, this event is aiming to raise £10 million in the next five years to help fund their world-leading research to improve care and ultimately find a cure against this cruel disease, empowering people affected to live the lives they want.

In the spirit of collaboration, Citynet and PIB Group have united for the second year to raise funds with every employee committed to helping spread awareness of what dementia is, as well as where you or your insurance colleagues can find support if affected by this killer disease.

We are extremely glad to announce that Citynet’s together with PIB Group companies have raised a total of £10,000 for this years IUAD.

One Industry. One goal! Let’s all unite to take on the 21^st century’s biggest killer!
