Warren Downey, Group CEO, Specialist Risk Group says "We are delighted to once again support the YMC Winter Ball as Headline Sponsor. Specialist Risk Group is committed to the development of leaders and specialists within our industry, and therefore this is the perfect partnership. We look forward to meeting with the future superstars of insurance!"

"The Wickers Charity is delighted to be the official Charity Partner of the Insurance Institute of London YMC Winter Ball 2025!

We aim to support young people in reaching their full potential regardless of social status, race, religion or postcode. No child should feel the need to carry or use a knife. Nor should they have to engage in anti-social behaviour in the pursuit of money and opportunity.

We offer a range of workshops and programmes in East London that provide young people with free opportunities. Our amazing team of role models support the young people in developing an open mindset to new experiences that may pose as a positive outlet.”
