Insurance covers to consider
When deciding what insurance and covers you need to protect your business, you should consider the following:
Public liability insurance
Public liability insurance for social clubs is a type of coverage that protects the club from potential legal liabilities and financial losses arising from third-party claims of injury or property damage. It provides cover for accidents or incidents that occur during club activities, events, or on club premises.
By having public liability insurance, social clubs can operate with peace of mind, knowing that they are financially protected in the event of unforeseen accidents, injuries, or property damage. It helps mitigate the potential financial burden that could arise from such incidents.

Employers' liability insurance
Employers’ liability insurance for social clubs is a type of cover that protects the club against legal liabilities and financial losses arising from employee or volunteer claims for work-related injuries or illnesses. It is specifically designed to meet the legal obligations of social clubs that have employees or engage volunteers in their activities.
Accidents can happen when you least expect them, and compensation awarded for injuries can be costly. If an employee or committee member fell down some stairs and broke a limb, employers’ liability would cover medical and legal costs as well as compensation awarded as a result, if you were found liable.
Employers’ liability insurance provides financial protection to social clubs, helping them cover the costs associated with employee claims. It can include compensation payments, legal expenses, and other costs required to settle a claim.

Property covers
Buildings insurance and contents insurance are two essential types of insurance coverage for social clubs, providing protection for the physical property and assets within the premises. Here’s an overview of each type of insurance:
Buildings insurance covers the structure of the social club itself, including walls, roof, floors, and other permanent fixtures. It provides financial protection in the event of damage or destruction caused by perils such as fire, flood, storm, vandalism, or accidental damage.
Contents insurance covers the movable property and assets inside the social club, including furniture, equipment, inventory, and other valuable items. It provides financial protection against risks such as theft, accidental damage, or loss due to covered perils.
It is important for gym owners to carefully assess their property insurance needs to determine the appropriate coverage limits and ensure that all essential assets are adequately protected.
Both buildings insurance and contents insurance are crucial for social clubs to safeguard their physical assets, ensure business continuity, and mitigate financial risks associated with property damage or loss.

Business interruption
Should you suffer damage at your premises, business interruption cover as part of your social club insurance can protect your gross profit or revenue and fixed business expenses if you are unable to open. So if you suffer property damage as the result of a flood or storm, this cover can tide you over financially while you get back up and running.
Business interruption insurance for social clubs is a vital cover as it helps mitigate the financial impact of unexpected disruptions, allowing the club to recover and resume operations more quickly.

Commercial legal protection
You may wish to include commercial legal expenses within your insurance, to offer protection against tax and VAT disputes, employment disputes and compensation awards, as well as cover should you or a member of staff be called up for jury service.

Loss of licence insurance
Loss of licence insurance, also known as Licence Protection Insurance, is a specialised cover that protects businesses in the event of their licence being revoked, suspended, or not renewed by the licensing authority. For example, a social club could lose its licence to sell alcohol in its onsite bar, so this insurance would provide financial protection during periods of closure or business interruption caused by the loss of the licence. It usually covers lost revenue, ongoing expenses, and may include costs associated with reinstating the licence.

Social club insurance FAQs
Do I need social club insurance?
There’s a wide range of covers that can be included within your social club insurance, from buildings, contents, and stock, to liability cover to protect you from injuries to your staff and visitors. Having the right cover in place can protect your livelihood against unforeseen events that could have significant financial implications and potentially jeopardise the future of your club.
Whether you are renting or you own the building, protecting your assets is essential. You can select the level of cover you need to ensure you have protection against weather events, break-ins and many other unexpected incidents.
If you are hosting events, renting spaces for classes, or organising fundraisers to support your local community, you will need to ensure that your customers, staff and suppliers are safeguarded against unforeseen events that could lead to claims being made against you.
What covers do social clubs need?
Generally, social club insurance can cover your premises and equipment, as well as your clients and your staff. Covers you should consider include:
- Public liability – for injured visitors or damage to their property.
- Employers’ liability – to protect your employees.
- Buildings cover – to cover for loss or damage to your premises.
- Equipment, contents and stock – to reinstate your items and belongings.

How much does social club insurance cost?
The cost of social club insurance can vary depending on several factors, including the size of the centre, location, activities and services offered, the value of property and assets, the number of employees or volunteers, previous claims history, and the specific insurance cover and limits required.
