Island Heritage Insurance responds to community needs arising from Covid-19

Grand
Cayman, 7 April 2020-
Island
Heritage Insurance Company, Ltd. announced today its community
support efforts in response to the Covid-19 crisis, pledging $20,000
USD to two organisations currently working under greater pressure
than ever.

Island
Heritage has pledged $10,000 USD to Cayman Islands Meals on Wheels,
which is seeing a rapidly growing waiting list of vulnerable people
needing meals. In addition, the amount of $10,000 USD is being
donated to the Cayman Islands Crisis Centre, which provides safe
temporary shelter for women and their children suffering from
domestic abuse. Unfortunately, the lockdown has led to an increase in
requests to shelter at-risk people.

Island
Heritage’s parent company, BF&M Limited, headquartered in
Bermuda, has pledged $10,000 to support a joint corporate/hospital
initiative to bring in urgent personal protective equipment for
community frontline carers.  The Company is further donating
$10,000 to The Coalition of Protection of Children, which estimates
needing to service more than double the number of families and
children in need. As well as helping to replenish food supplies
in the Coalition storehouse, the funds will go towards providing
medications, laundry supplies, and personal hygiene supplies.

John
Wight, Group Chairman and CEO of BF&M Limited, explains: “At a
time that is stressful in so many ways for so many people, we are
thinking about those who need extra help. Our customers depend on us
to be there for them when they need us; we also believe we must
support our communities at times of crisis, when we can.”
