A family-run insurance company has given more than £1m to local charities.
The Alan Boswell Group Charitable Trust was set up in 2019 by Norwich-based firm Alan Boswell Group as a way to award grants to organisations that help and support people in East Anglia.
In its first year the Trust gave £250,000 to charities and community groups, in the second year £339,000 was awarded and its third year saw £520,000 grant money given.
Groups that have benefited from the donations include local cancer charity Big C; Norwich-based social enterprise The Freed, which works to prevent poverty, hunger and homelessness; and the MS Society.
Alan Boswell, executive chairman of Alan Boswell Group, said: “We are in the fortunate position to be able to help others, so why wouldn’t we?
"It’s important to make a difference and to give something back, so I’m pleased that we’ve hit such an important milestone and hope that the grants have gone some way to help people.”
