Insurance is something most of us feel comfortable with… until we actually need to rely on it.

A recent blog from our partner Unity Insurance Services highlights a really important but often overlooked issue: underinsurance.

On paper, it can look like everything is covered. But if your sums insured don’t reflect today’s true rebuild or replacement costs, the reality can be very different at claim stage. Rising construction costs, inflation, labour shortages and regulatory changes all mean that rebuild values are rarely static.

And that gap matters. A building insured for £250,000 that actually costs £500,000 to rebuild isn’t just a technical shortfall—it can have a real financial impact when you need support the most.

The key message is simple: insurance shouldn’t just be about having a policy in place, it should be about having the right level of cover, based on current reality.

That’s why regular reviews, accurate valuations, and proactive conversations with your insurance partner are so important. It’s not a one-and-done exercise it’s an ongoing responsibility.

For CSC Buying Group members, this is a timely reminder to take a fresh look at your property values and make sure your cover still matches today’s rebuild costs. A short review now can make a significant difference later.

If you haven’t reviewed your sums insured recently, it may be worth starting that conversation sooner rather than later.

We’ve just published a new blog that I wanted to share with you 👇

It highlights our partnber Together’s latest milestone, the launch of their brand new website and why it matters for organisations across the charity and not-for-profit sector.

What I really like about this update is how clearly it reflects SCG’s approach: practical, people-first solutions that focus on solving real operational challenges, not just selling technology for its own sake.

For CSCBG members especially, SCG continues to be a trusted partner across cyber security, IT, telecoms, and connectivity already supporting 130+ members and consistently delivering strong service ratings and meaningful savings.

The new website brings this to life with real case studies showing how SCG has helped organisations improve resilience, connectivity, and day-to-day operations. It also showcases their full range of services, including:

• Fibre internet & Wi-Fi

• IT solutions & support

• Cyber security

• VoIP & telephony

• Mobile services

If you work with charities or mission-led organisations, it’s well worth a look.

When people think about reducing catering costs, they often focus on food prices.

But what about food waste, service efficiency, and maintaining food quality between the kitchen and the point of service?

For many schools, care organisations, retreat centres, conference venues, camps and community projects, transporting food safely and keeping it at the right temperature can be a daily challenge.

A simple piece of equipment can sometimes make a bigger operational difference than expected.

That's why we've taken a look at the new Vogue insulated range from our partner Nisbets Catering Equipment and how it could help organisations improve food service, reduce waste, and support food safety compliance.

If your organisation provides meals across multiple locations, staggered sittings, residential accommodation, or events, it may be worth a read.

When it comes to site clearances, many organisations assume they need to coordinate multiple contractors, manage complex waste streams, and navigate compliance requirements on their own.

The reality? It doesn't have to be that complicated.

Our latest blog from our partner 1st Waste Management highlights how 1st Waste provides complete site clearance solutions, helping organisations streamline the process, stay compliant, and ensure waste is managed responsibly from start to finish.

With a single point of contact and nationwide coverage, they take the hassle out of what can often be a challenging project.

Whether you're preparing a property for redevelopment, managing a refurbishment, or simply need a large-scale clearance completed efficiently, it's worth understanding the options available.

Take a look at the full article here and discover how 1st Waste Management can support your organisation's site clearance requirements.

If you’ve ever been involved in running a camp bookstall, you’ll know it can feel like a lot of moving parts to get right from ordering stock to managing sales and returns, all while everything else is going on at camp.

We’ve just shared a new blog post from our partner 10ofthose.com that breaks it all down and shows how simple it can actually be when you’ve got the right support and process in place.

👉 In “Camp Bookstalls Sorted”, we look at how camps and ministries can set up a smooth, stress-free bookstall that serves young people well, keeps things practical on the ground, and helps resources get into the hands of those who need them most.

It’s a small part of camp life that can make a big difference — both for engagement during the week and for taking something meaningful home afterwards.

If you’re involved in camps, youth ministry, or conference organisation, it’s well worth a read:
