The Movement for Good Awards, spearheaded by the Benefact Group, is set to donate over £1 million to charities up and down the country this year. Now in its seventh year, this transformative initiative invites residents in Wales to nominate their favourite charities for a chance to receive a donation of £1,000.

From today, Wales residents can make a nomination at www.movementforgood.com – a simple act that could have a lasting impact. Winners will be drawn at random, and the initiative will also feature special sector-specific draws, with charities able to secure larger grants of £5,000. The timetable for these draws is available on the website, with winners announced throughout the year.

The Movement for Good Awards has donated over £6 million to charities in the UK and Ireland since the initiative started in 2019. Caerau and Ely Sports Trust in Cardiff, Exousia Trust in Swansea, North Clwyd Animal Rescue in Holywell and the Mount Pleasant Group Riding for the Disabled in Pencoed are some of the causes in Wales that have previously benefited from the funding thanks to more than 32,800 nominations from the public.

Mark Hews, Group Chief Executive of Benefact Group, said: “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.”

Nominations are open now at www.movementforgood.com. The more nominations a charity receives, the greater its chance of being selected – so share the link with your loved ones and get involved!

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