Are you protecting what matters most?

Currently 3 million people are living with cancer in the UK – on average, someone is diagnosed with cancer every 90 seconds. Roughly 1 person every 5 minutes suffers from a stroke in the UK and 1 in 4 strokes happen to people of working age.

Protection insurance is a term used to describe cover for you and your loved ones in the event of your death or illness. It can give you a financial safety net, providing valuable peace of mind that you and your family won’t have to worry about money at what’s likely to be a difficult time.

While no-one wants to think about getting seriously ill or passing away, if these things do happen, having cover in place can allow you and your family to concentrate on what really matters, without having to worry about paying the mortgage and other bills.

Protection can be a lifeline when you need it most

Stop to think about who relies on you financially, and what would happen if you were unable to work and provide an income. Who would pay your mortgage or utility bills? How would you maintain your quality of life?

If you don’t have a significant financial buffer in place, protection insurance could offer loved ones financial support and cover your mortgage payments if you’re no longer able to earn. Give yourself and your family the peace of mind of knowing that should something unforeseen happen – the things that matter most will be taken care of.
