Previous insurance solutions for P & C Associations have tended to be complex with confusing levels of coverage as well as difficult to understand and expensive ad-ons.

Following feedback from its members, Healthy Kids Association have worked with Community Underwriting to develop a competitive P & C Insurance package which provides a minimum level of coverage for all Associations - the P & C Essentials Insurance Package.
