Local people have been encouraged to nominate a charity to receive a festive donation.

The Benefact Group Movement for Good Awards will give away £240,000 as part of its annual 12 Days of Giving Christmas campaign.

For 12 days in the lead up to Christmas the specialist financial services group is giving £1,000 to 20 charities each day – with 240 charities in total benefitting from a festive financial boost.

Nominations are now open, and Nottinghamshire residents 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 and 16th December and nominations can be made at www.movementforgood.com. Winners are drawn at random with every charity nominated in with a chance of winning a donation this Christmas.

Mark Hews, group chief executive of Benefact Group, said: “We’re delighted to be launching our 12 Days of Giving campaign again this year, giving away £240,000 in donations to causes nationwide. We know how much charities need support, particularly during the festive season, so we’re asking the people of Nottinghamshire to take a few minutes to nominate a cause that is particularly close to their hearts.

“We know that £1,000 can have a huge impact on incredible work that charities do and we’re looking forward to seeing how this financial boost will change lives for the better. Owned by a charity ourselves, Benefact Group donates all its available profits to good causes, which means that more the Group grows, the more it can give.”

Benefact Group has donated more than £250m to charitable causes since 2014 and is the third biggest corporate giver in the UK over the last decade.

Movement for Good is funded by EIO plc, part of the Benefact Group.
