At Direct Line Group, diversity isn’t only respected – it’s celebrated! This is why we have our DNA (Diversity Network Alliance) - a single group of our people that work together to promote and champion diversity and inclusion within our organisation. We have 9 DNA strands that represent diversity across age, belief, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, background and neurodiversity. This week we’ll be taking a spotlight on our BAME strand and talk to some of the amazing committee members about the work they have been doing to raise awareness, keeping the conversation going and how the strand celebrated Black History Month. #LifeatDLG #Celebratingdiveristy #Diversity #Inclusion #DNA #BHM #BlackHistoryMonth #BAME #Akala #diversityandinclusion
We've launched the third phase of the DLG Community Fund to distribute £1 million to charities focusing on problems that have become more acute due to Covid-19 - such as social mobility, left behind groups, food poverty and public health. We've already distributed £2.5 million to 200 charities, helping over 100,000 people and we're not stopping there! Some of our colleagues and charities, whose causes have benefited so far, tell us more about the difference the DLG Community Fund is making. #LifeatDLG #forceforgood #community #charity #insurance

At DLG we care about our planet and for Climate Week we've gone back to nature. Here our Environmental Champions share with us how we can play our part in combating the climate crisis.

We’re actively looking for people to join our teams and we’re committed to protecting your health and wellbeing throughout every step. Over the last few months we’ve adapted the way we work to enable us to both protect our people and continue to be there for our customers when they need us most. What started out as a response to a crisis has now empowered us to think big and completely rethink the way we operate. From carrying out virtual interviews and onboarding to offering greater flexibility when it comes to location and homeworking for certain roles, we’re embracing our new way of working. During this time, we’re doing everything we can to take care of our people, we haven’t placed any of our colleagues on furlough and we’ve made commitments to protect their jobs and their pay. It’s a new way of working for many of us, so if you’re successful in securing a role with us we’ll work with you to make sure you have the tools and equipment you need, and you feel part of our amazing DLG team!
Did you know we have more than twenty of our own accident repair centres? And each year we offer a variety of apprenticeships nationwide.

Well done - an amazing achievement and testament to the first class training and skills at DLG Auto Services. #LifeatDLG #METApprenticeship #PaintApprenticeship #ApprenticeAwards #Apprentices #RepairSector #Autorepair

Direct Line Group has teamed up with KidsOut to bring a bit of fun and happiness to children staying in refuges after fleeing domestic abuse. As part of our DLG Community Fund of £3.5 million we wanted to help provide essential aid to some of society’s most vulnerable. We’re therefore donating £50 food vouchers and over £100 worth of new toys to every family currently living in the 319 Women’s Aid Federation refuges in the UK. Let's be a #ForceforGood #WeCare #Alwaysbyyourside #charity #community
Many children who rely on schools for breakfast and lunch are at risk of going hungry. The DLG Community fund will provide funding for community groups across Leeds to feed 1,000 children and their families with food parcels and takeaway meals. Leeds Community Foundation's Healthy Holidays scheme supports projects that tackle the holiday hunger, inactivity and isolation faced by some of the poorest families in and around Leeds during school holidays. Since lockdown with children at home full time, the demand has increased significantly. Our donation will help many struggling families and enable us to support the local community where many of our people live and work.
