We’re proud to announce our membership with the Income Protection Task Force (IPTF) for 2025.

This new partnership follows our recent milestone of surpassing 150,000 in-force policies, providing financial security and peace of mind to more members through our award-winning investment and insurance plans.

Known for initiatives including Income Protection Awareness Week (IPAW), the IPTF is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to raising awareness and understanding of income protection among advisers and consumers in the UK.

Phil Nash, Chief Sales Officer at Shepherds Friendly, commented:

“Shepherds Friendly is thrilled to become part of the IPTF for 2025, supporting its mission to increase awareness of income protection. With just 14% of Brits currently holding income protection, our research highlights the urgent need to educate more people about the essential financial safety net it provides. Having recently surpassed 150,000 active policies, we’re also eager to work with advisers to deepen understanding of the value that friendly societies and mutuals bring to their members.”
