At Hughes Insurance, we’re committed to going above and beyond for our customers, employees, and community by creating positive impact and contributing to worthy causes. In 2022, we created Action for Impact - a £100,000 commitment to various charities and organisations which embody our core values and reflect a genuine commitment to Act Responsibly, Put People First and Make Things Better.
Sport brings communities together and we all know Northern Ireland is brimming with talented athletes, yet many are in desperate need of financial support. In 2021 we established a partnership with Mary Peters Trust to support athletes from all walks of life across Northern Ireland and help them fund their journey.
Including sponsoring the Trust’s annual bursary programme which awards crucial funding to ten of the province’s most promising young athletes - from all recognised sports - helping them to achieve their sporting dreams. A key part of this is storytelling – sharing the athletes’ journeys and celebrating their commitment and achievements, all whilst championing the role Mary Peters Trust continues to play in the lives of young sporting talent.
As part of this valued relationship, we also supported with the launch of Mary Peters Trust’s annual Corporate Games including headline sponsor in both 2022 and 2023. The event embodies Putting People First including promoting a healthy lifestyle and good work life balance, all whilst contributing to the support of young athletes.
At Hughes Insurance, we’re immensely proud to be associated with Mary Peters Trust, and the work they do. We’re ‘here for the journey’ and to date we’ve supported 30 athletes to go a little further in their journey.
