Happy Scout Group

They recently got in touch and apologised for not doing so sooner. We discussed our requirements and the policy was in place that afternoon. Been using them for some years now and very happy with the service.

Many issues

We experienced a multitude of issues with Unity, staff leaving and not handing us over, our building valuation coming back and us not being told for 3 months despite us being “severely underinsured” and being chased for renewals we have already agreed on multiple occasions. The only justifications for 2 stars was one particular staff member who went above and beyond to sort the mess out for us and the fact that Unity provide a unique level of cover for scout groups that can’t be found elsewhere.

New Unity Customer

We have a particularly challenging requirement and Bradley Scott made very sure that our new insurer both understood and covered that requirement. I have never been asked so many questions, but Unity saved our charity a very significant sum compared to our previous quote. Very pleased with the service and very happy to be helping Scouting at the same time.

Thank you kindly, Bill! Your kind words have been shared with Brad and the Unity team. We can certainly say that our questioning is thorough and allows us to obtain exactly the cover required for your charity at a competitive price as you have made testament to.

It seemed almost as if we were a brand…

It seemed almost as if we were a brand new client rather than one of long standing because we were asked such questions as date and type of construction of the buildings which one could expect to be already on file. The first quote for renewal was 41% higher than the previous year which was offered to us without any explanation as to the reason. However we received a revised quote that we were able to accept. Lucy was extremely courteous and put up with my moaning admirably!

Extremely efficient and professional support from Bradley. We were very happy to receive the quote which was better than the previous supplier and does what we need.
As a small charity we were delighted to find someone who looked at what we needed rather that assuming we needed much more. Thank you

Due to our own admin error I was late in renewing. Super helpful account manager arranged extension of policy so we were not without cover and after a lengthy phone call we renewed and the quote was nearly £1000 cheaper than last year's premium for our campsite building and contents. That's something that doesn't happen these days.

Good Morning Paul and thank you for your comments. Certainly worthwhile having the phone call with your Account Manager and a fantastic result. Less money for the Insurer and more money for the Group, always a plus!

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Good for ease, but some issues

Again renewed with Unity due to time restraints. Transpired I was given wrong information 2 years prior and we were not covered for something I was told we were. Told they would have honoured a payout but only have their word for this. Therefore, premium increased massively this year to cover what we thought was previously covered. On top of yet another annual increase for a Group that hasn't claimed in decades. Not sure Unity admin fee is that justifiable based on this. They also claimed we agreed to renew which wasn't the case as I had raised questions on the renewal and pending answers. Only saving grace is money goes back into Scouts, but likely will shop around more next year.

Okay

Good customer service, easy to renew and prices fair. However very disappointed the boundary wall of our scout grounds, as well as two gates onto the property, are not covered by the buildings policy.
