Benefact Group’s Movement for Good Awards is set to give away £120,000 as part of its annual 12 Days of Giving Christmas campaign. For 12 days in the lead up to Christmas, £1,000 will be given to ten charities each day – with 120 charities in total benefitting from a festive financial boost.
Nominations are now open, and residents in Lincolnshire are being encouraged to nominate a cause they care about to give them a chance of receiving a share of the award money.
Draws will take place every weekday between 1st – 16th December and nominating is easy using the online form at www.movementforgood.com. Winners are drawn at random with every charity nominated in with a chance of winning a vital donation this Christmas.
Last year Scunthorpe-based Starlight Arts, a charity that provides opportunities for disabled adults to engage with music therapy, Makaton, drama, disability dance, life and social skills, arts and crafts and Lego® therapy, received £1,000 following nominations by members of the public.
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 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.”
