Do you have home contents insurance?

We have teamed up with Thistle Tenant Risks, and Royal & Sun Alliance Ltd who provide the Crystal Insurance Scheme, a specialist home contents insurance for social housing tenants.
Why do I need it?
Contents insurance is designed to help protect your possessions. No matter how careful you are, there’s always a risk that your belongings could be broken, damaged or stolen so home contents insurance can help provide peace of mind.
The Crystal Insurance Scheme can offer you insurance for the contents of your home including cover for items such as furniture, carpets, curtains, clothes, bedding, electrical items, jewellery, pictures and ornaments, and much more
