*LAST CHANCE TO BOOK* - booking closes at Midnight on Sunday 5th October 2025 There is still time to join us for a ‘peek behind the curtain’ of one of the world's longest-serving insurance companies. For one day only, RSA are inviting you in to see what a day looks like at one of the big insurers. Whether you are a recent graduate considering your next steps, early into your insurance career or a more experienced member already working in the world of insurance, there is a huge amount to take away from this immersive and interactive day at RSA’s Horsham office. During this intimate and engaging session you'll hear from senior members of staff about their professional journeys and gain an understanding of key business functions such as Underwriting, Claims, Operations/Change Transformation, and Business Development. This event is a unique opportunity to seek advice from those who have been there and done it, to hear about others' experiences, ask questions, and network with other new professionals. This event has been arranged by the Insurance Institute of Sussex NextGen Committee and is also open to attendance by non-members. *Please note that RSA are kindly funding this event. The £5 booking fee is to encourage attendance and 100% of this shall be donated to UK Youth which is RSA's partner charity (https://www.ukyouth.org/).

This new-for-2025 session is designed to address the unique mental health challenges faced by men in the workplace. It draws on evidence-based approaches and MHIB’s commitment to reducing stigma and fostering positive mental health cultures. The session will explore the barriers men encounter in seeking support, the impact of traditional gender norms, and practical strategies for building resilience and wellbeing. Participants will also gain insights into recognising signs of distress in themselves and others, learn how to initiate supportive conversations, and access resources to maintain long-term mental health.
