They have also confirmed their support for Hailsham music festival Chiddfest who are also partnered with St Wilfrid’s Hospice.
Corey Ewen, a 17-year-old darts player from Eastbourne ‘already making his mark on the World Darts Federation and Amateur Darts Circuit tours’, will be backed by the broker too.
Paul Muir, CEO of 1 Answer Insurance, said: “As a Sussex-based business, we’re passionate about supporting the communities that have supported us over the years.
“We believe successful businesses have a responsibility to give something back, whether that’s helping local charities continue their incredible work, supporting community events that unite the county or investing in young people with the talent and determination to achieve great things.”
Dave Longman, corporate fundraiser at St Wilfrid’s Hospice, commented: "“St Wilfrid’s Hospice provides high-quality care and support for people across Sussex. More than 70% of the funds that we require to run our much-needed services are generated through donations.
“Partnerships with and support from businesses like 1 Answer Insurance are crucial in helping the hospice to continue to provide the level of care required in Sussex.
“We, and the whole community, are so grateful to have the backing of 1 Answer Insurance and look forward to continuing this partnership.”
