DLG announces new charity partnerships

Direct Line Group (DLG) has announced four new charity partnerships to support diversity, inclusion and social change in the communities it serves.

Firms the insurer has teamed up with include Parenting Mental Health, Race Equality Matters, Spear and The Diversity Trust.

Through its community fund, DLG will provide a donation of £50,000 that will be spread among the charities.

It will also work closely with the selected charities, gaining access to learning resources, expert support and data.

Becky Turner, diversity and inclusion and talent partner at DLG, said: “In addition to their community engagement, we’re also excited to collaborate with our charity partners to enhance our own education.

“We see real value in the learning opportunities this collaboration can provide in support of our internal diversity and inclusion objectives and our mission to make the group a truly inclusive environment for all.”

The charities

DLG said the four charities it partnered with were ”carefully selected for their alignment with DLG’s focus on inclusivity and intersectionality”.

Parenting Mental Health supports parents of children facing mental health challenges, while Race Equality Matters aims to drive change in workplaces across the UK.

And The Diversity Trust is a non-profit organisation that focuses on creating a fairer and safer society through social change advocacy.

Spear, meanwhile, is a national programme focused on helping young people from disadvantaged backgrounds find pathways to work.

Turner said: “We are delighted to support such impactful charitable organisations.

“The intersectional approach of our selected partners will ensure we deliver positive benefits across the many communities we support.”
