Although trustee management liability isn’t a legal requirement, trustees do have a level of responsibility to protect the organisation and people who work with it and in it.  

Here is an example of how this type of insurance might work: 

During an event a volunteer has a terrible accident and as a result, an investigation is carried out into the trustees around their health and safety training, procedures and failure to provide the correct training and supervision. This element of cover would help the legal implications and damage caused directly to the trustee involved, but it would not cover any compensation costs.

The short answer is - yes in certain circumstances. If you are a trustee, the law allows you to insure any property owned by a charity against the risk of loss or damage due to any insured event and to pay the premiums out of its funds. Learn more on the UK government website.
