TWO BERKSHIRE charities have received a £1,000 Christmas gift thanks to the Benefact Group.
The charities were nominated to win a share of £120,000 by members of the public as part of the Benefact Group’s annual 12 days of giving Christmas campaign.
The Berkshire Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre, which provides therapy for those living with Multiple Sclerosis, and The Guide Dogs for the Blind Association, which funds guide dog training for the blind, are the charities set to benefit from the funds..
More than 2,000 residents nominated a cause close to their hearts, with 2,000 causes in the Berkshire receiving votes. The 120 winning charities across the UK were picked at random from those nominated.
Mark Hews, group chief executive of Benefact Group, said: “We are delighted to be giving back to deserving charitable causes once more with our annual 12 days of giving Christmas campaign, part of our Movement for Good Awards.
