Age UK Isle of Wight has received a funding boost as part of Benefact Group’s Movement for Good Awards to support its vital work.
The charity which provides essential services to support older adults in the community, has received a grant of £1,000 following overwhelming support from people in the area.
For the 7th year running, Benefact Group is giving away more than £1million to charities through its Movement for Good awards. Members of the public were invited to nominate causes close to their hearts, with more than 600 Isle of Wight residents taking the time to put forward charities they care about.
Further winners will be revealed later in the year and Isle of Wight residents are encouraged to keep nominating by visiting https://movementforgood.com/.
Mark Hews, Group Chief Executive at Benefact Group, said:
“We would like to thank every single person who took the time to nominate a good cause as part of our Movement for Good Awards. Benefact Group is a family of award-winning specialist financial services companies and the third largest corporate donor to charity in the UK over a decade.
“We’re delighted to donate over £1million to good causes each year through our Movement for Good Awards and are grateful to all our supporters, including the customers of the trusted insurer, Ecclesiastical, and the responsible and sustainable asset manager, EdenTree. We know that £1,000 can make a huge difference to the incredible work that charities do and we’re looking forward to seeing how this financial boost will change lives for the better.”
Having recently achieved its ambition to reach the landmark amount of £250million given in donations since 2014, Benefact Group is recognised as the third largest corporate giver in the UK over a decade.
