We're proud to announce that Everywhen's travel team will once again be the headline sponsor of the ABTA LifeLine Annual Dinner, taking place on 9 September 2026 in London.

The sponsorship reflects Everywhen's long-standing connection to the travel sector and our ongoing commitment to supporting the people and communities behind it.

ABTA LifeLine, ABTA's charity, has been helping individuals who work in the travel industry and their families since 1988. Formerly known as the ABTA Benevolent Fund, it has supported more than 800 families and awarded grants totalling more than £1 million to people facing hardship.

Supporting a sector we know well

Everywhen’s travel team has been helping businesses in the travel sector manage risk for more than 30 years. The team specialises in travel bonds, helping travel agents and tour operators secure the financial guarantees they need to operate and protect consumers.

As one of a select group of brokers awarded ABTA Partner+ status, our travel team is recognised by ABTA for its expertise, market knowledge and service.

Tony Gilpin, Head of Travel at Everywhen, said:

"We've worked alongside travel businesses for decades, so supporting ABTA LifeLine is something that means a great deal to us.

"The charity provides practical help to people who have dedicated their careers to the travel industry and find themselves facing difficult circumstances. It's a reminder that behind every business are people and families, and sometimes everyone needs a bit of support.

"We're proud to support the work ABTA LifeLine does and proud to be part of an industry that comes together to help its own."

Helping travel businesses operate with confidence

Whether it's a start-up just entering the market or an established operator with complex requirements, our team has access to a highly specialist market and can help businesses secure the guarantees they need to operate with confidence.
