NFU Mutual Isle of Wight has announced a new community partnership.
The six-month pledge will support Mountbatten Isle of Wight, the Island’s only hospice and the lead provider of palliative and end-of-life care.
Between April 1 and September 30, NFU Mutual Isle of Wight will donate £10 from its business pot to the hospice for every new policy local to the Isle of Wight that starts during this period.

Charlotte Hornblow, community fundraising lead at Mountbatten Isle of Wight, said: "Mountbatten cares for more than 2,500 Islanders on any given day, both in its 16-bed inpatient unit in Newport and in people’s homes.
"As a charity bearing the majority of its own costs, Mountbatten relies heavily on partnerships such as that with NFU Mutual Isle of Wight, as well as donations, fundraising, local partners, and community support to continue its extraordinary work."
Mountbatten has provided expert care for more than 40 years.
John Heather, senior agent at NFU Mutual New Forest, Isle of Wight and Bournemouth, said: "We are delighted to support Mountbatten through this initiative. Their compassionate and highly specialised care provides comfort and dignity to so many people in our community."
