Admiral Teams Up With Save The Children UK

The latest charity partnership news from Admiral Group;

Save the Children UK and Admiral Group have announced a new three-year partnership worth £1 million to support the charity’s UK and global work in mitigating the impacts of climate change and poverty on children.

Save the Children, with its long history of supporting children in Wales and Admiral Group with its roots firmly in Welsh communities, will reach more than 17,500 children and their families living in some of the most disadvantaged communities.

Wales is the nation with the highest rate of child poverty in the UK with 200,000 children – the equivalent of ten pupils in every classroom – living in poverty. Climate related emergencies are hitting low-income families the hardest with food and energy insecurity driving up costs. Children living in communities facing the most challenges and in poor housing are also most likely to be exposed to the effects of flooding, damp, extreme heat and air pollution. Access to nature and safe play areas, which is vital for wellbeing, is also out of reach for many.

Save the Children and Admiral Group aim to help children shape safer, fairer and more resilient communities by listening to their voices and building on their ideas and solutions. The work will be delivered in Wales through two flagship child-led programmes called Voice and Light and Seedlings of Change.

The partnership will also see Admiral Group supporting Save the Children’s global work as a member of the Humanitarian Network. This is an alliance of Save the Children’s Corporate Partners who collectively mobilise resources, raise awareness and drive innovation to better support children and communities before, during and after emergencies.

Michelle Leavesley, Chief Sustainability Officer at Admiral Group said: “Through our partnership with Save the Children, we’re proud to support work that strengthens resilience, responds to poverty and climate related challenges, and puts children’s voices at the heart of shaping safer futures. Working together in Wales and beyond, this partnership reflects how we’re continuing our journey to better, combining our experience in risk and resilience with Save the Children’s deep expertise to help communities feel more prepared and more supported so children can grow up safe and thrive.”
