Last year when we first shared our Vision of a world where insurance is personal, inclusive and a force for good, we couldn’t have anticipated the current extraordinary situation. And now – more than ever – it’s essential we live up to that ambition and play our part in supporting the communities we serve and give back. That’s why we’ve launched the DLG Community Fund - £3.5million which we’ll use to support our communities. We’ve been working with local councils and leaders to identify charities supporting vulnerable people who are struggling during this difficult time and we’ll be sharing these chosen charities with you soon. Until then, watch this video of our colleagues bringing our vision and purpose to life. Let's be a #ForceforGood #AlwaysEvolving #LifeatDLG #Community #Charity

In the article, Yvonne speaks openly about her Dyslexia and how she’s now thriving with the right support. There are a number of things we’ve been doing at DLG to nurture neuro-diverse talent. This includes attracting people with autism who often have extraordinary technical or cognitive abilities, right through to our onboarding process.
