The policy provides financial protection, access to prompt, high-quality treatment, reduced waiting times, upfront payment of eligible medical expenses, and a straightforward claims process. Ultimately, its goal is to help injured players recover quickly and return to the game they love, regardless of the level at which they play." Stephen Barker, Operations Manager from Derry GAA, commented: "Nombox recently switched to Find Insurance's new Personal Accident Policy, and it has given Nombox real peace of mind.

It provides valuable financial support when injuries occur, helping players access treatment more quickly and reducing the burden on both families and the club. It is a practical solution that strengthens the protection available to its members while helping Nombox to focus on what matters most: supporting its players both on and off the pitch. Nombox is grateful to Colin and the team at Find Insurance for their continued support of Derry GAA and the wider Gaelic Games community."
