Residents urged to nominate local charities for festive funds
People in Wales are being encouraged to nominate local charities for a chance to receive a £1,000 donation this Christmas.
Benefact Group’s Movement for Good Awards has launched its annual 12 Days of Giving campaign, offering £120,000 in total to 120 charities across the UK.
Each weekday from 1 to 16 December, ten winning charities will be selected at random to receive £1,000 each.
Last year, North Clwyd Animal Rescue in Trelogan was among the Welsh charities to receive donations from the scheme.
Mark Hews, Group Chief Executive of Benefact Group, said: “We’re delighted to be giving away another £120,000 in valuable donations to causes around the country. We know that charities across the country are struggling, and for many the festive season is a critical time. We’re asking residents to take a few minutes of their time to nominate a cause they especially care about.
“Owned by a charity, Benefact Group gives all of its available profits go to good causes, and the more the Group grows, the more the Group can give. We know that £1,000 can make a huge difference to the incredible work that charities do and we’re looking forward to seeing how this financial boost will change lives for the better.”
Benefact Group, which operates as a specialist financial services organisation, has donated over £250 million to charitable causes since 2014 and was named the UK’s third biggest corporate giver over the past decade.
The Movement for Good initiative is funded by EIO plc, part of the Benefact Group, and is designed to support charities of all sizes making a positive impact in their communities.
