The British Association of Friends of Museums has a good
insurance scheme for MEMBER groups covering the activities
of Friends AND volunteers. They also have an insurance
advisor for members. Some Friends groups join BAFM just for
the insurance scheme but of course there are lots of other
benefits too...
