Our corporate partners
Acrisure Wholesale Insurance
Partnering with Epilepsy Society in memory of our friend Amelia Roberts, has been a fantastic experience for the whole company. We have received excellent support when planning our own activities and our team have loved taking part in the fundraising activities that both we and the charity have offered. Personally, running the London Marathon will be the highlight for me as this is a tough challenge at this stage of my life. To have raised over £160,000 in memory of Amelia is something we at Acrisure are all incredibly proud of and we are grateful for the guidance and support provided by the team at Epilepsy Society.
