Isle Of Wight Residents Encouraged To Nominate A Charity To Receive Share Of £1m

Benefact Group’s Movement for Good Awards is back.

Now in its sixth year, the awards are giving residents of the Isle of Wight the opportunity to nominate a charity of their choice to receive £1,000.

The Movement for Good Awards will once again see more than £1million donated to charities up and down the UK and Ireland.

From today, Isle of Wight residents can quickly and easily nominate a good cause online.

Winners will be drawn at random and the more times a charity is nominated the more chance it has of being selected.

There will also be a series of special draws where charities operating within specific sectors can be nominated to receive a grant of £5,000, the timetable of draws can be viewed.

Donations will be announced throughout the year.

The Movement for Good Awards has donated over £5million to charities in the UK and Ireland since the initiative started in 2019.

The Wight Brainy Bunch, a brain tumour support charity in the Isle of Wight is a cause that has previously benefited from the funding thanks to nominations from the public.

Mark Hews, Group Chief Executive of Benefact Group, says:

“Benefact Group is a family of award-winning specialist financial services companies and the third largest corporate donor to charity in the UK.

"Owned by a charity ourselves, charitable giving is at the heart of what we do.

"All of our available profits go to good causes and the more the Group grows, the more the Group can give.

“We are delighted to be able to donate over £1million to good causes each year through our Movement for Good Awards and are grateful to all our supporters."

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