Charity partner Surewise is gearing up to deliver hampers to Members once again over the festive season. The goodwill mission is part of the company’s strong relationship with the Association, which includes a donation of mobility scooters.
“Blesma is close to our hearts, and we are inspired by its Members,” said Stuart Bensusan, who founded the social care insurance company with two business partners.
“Most of our staff or families have a connection with someone in the military or know
someone who has served. Every member of staff wanted to be involved in delivering the hampers to vulnerable or isolated Members last year, and we want to do more this year.”
Surewise, based close to Blesma’s office in Chelmsford, specialises in insurance for care workers, mobility scooters and wheelchairs. Its underwriter, Sagic, also returns its retained profit to charity.
“We wanted to partner with a charity that allowed us to see what happened to the contributions,” added Stuart. “We read Blesma Magazine and did some research, and it quickly became obvious that Blesma is a charity dedicated to its members.”
Surewise now also organises its own workplace fundraising events for Blesma, as well as putting on a golf day fundraiser that includes Members in the summer. “It is fantastic to meet Blesma Members and see the way they cope with whatever is thrown at them, often with great humour. We are thrilled to be able to do our bit,” said Stuart
Chris Knight, Blesma’s Corporate & Regional Fundraising Manager, added: “Our partnership has gone from strength to strength. It’s a pleasure to be supported by such a great company who are always looking at how they can engage with us to make a difference for Members. I look forward to our continued partnership.”
