NFU Mutual Central-South Warwickshire and Pershore - Agency Giving Fund 2025

NFU Mutual Central-South Warwickshire & Pershore staff were pleased to nominate a number of local charities this summer to each receive a donation from NFU Mutual’s national £2.33m Agency Giving Fund. The Fund forms part of NFU Mutual’s pledge to support charities during 2025.

The Agency Giving Fund was launched in 2020 in response to the pandemic and ensures donations reach all corners of the UK and are directed where they are needed most, close to over 295 nationwide NFU Mutual agencies.  

This year, NFU Mutual Central-South Warwickshire & Pershore has selected five charities to each receive a donation of £7,899 from the Agency Giving Fund and the first local, front-line charity nominated has recently received its donation.  

Shipston Home Nursing is a hospice at home charity. Founded in 1997, it provides palliative and end of life nursing care for patients with terminal illnesses who wish to be cared for at home. The service is provided completely free of charge to patients in Shipston, Wellesbourne, Kineton and surrounding villages. The charity ensures compassionate, high-quality care for both patients and their families throughout their illness, relying almost entirely on the generosity of donors and supporters.

Andrew Revell, Executive Director, at Shipston Home Nursing, said “We are very grateful to NFU Mutual Central-South Warwickshire & Pershore agency for such a generous donation. Strong partnerships are essential to our success, and we were pleased to receive sponsorship from them this year for our successful community Plant and Home Produce Sales. We will be using this latest donation towards our bereavement counselling and night nursing services - the money will allow us to keep delivering our vital service to those in need.”

Danny James, Agent at NFU Mutual Central-South Warwickshire and Pershore said: “We are a member-based, purpose-led business that values the important role our agency plays in helping important, frontline community services such as Shipston Home Nursing. Our staff are committed to looking at opportunities to nominate charities near our offices and fundraise for them. This includes our employee volunteering programme which enables all of the team to take time off work to support local causes.
