Berkshire residents encouraged to nominate a charity to receive share of £1million

MORE THAN £1 million is available to charities thanks to an annual award scheme.

Benefact Group’s Movement For Good offers grants of £1,000 to community groups and good causes, and since its launch, there have been nearly 28,000 nomninations for Berkshire-based charities, with 39 awards made.

Winners will be drawn at random, meaning the more submissions, the more chance a charity has of receiving the cash boost.

There will be 150 charities selected in June, and a second tranche in September, with further gifts across the year.

Mark Hews, Group Chief Executive at Benefact Group, says: “We are immensely proud to be supporting many hundreds of charities through our Movement for Good Awards for the fifth year running.

“We know that £1,000 can make a huge difference so we’re asking that people give a minute of their time to nominate a cause they care about to receive an award.

Bracknell death: Police name man found dead as murder probe continues

“Owned by a charity ourselves, charitable giving is at the heart of what we do and all of our available profits go to good causes. With financial strain continuing to impact many households the Movement for Good Awards represents a great way for people to continue to support causes close to their hearts, without worrying about an additional cost. Any charity can win no matter how large or small and even with just one nomination. So find a minute, jump online and nominate – because that small amount of time is invaluable for charities.”
