Three charities based in Buckinghamshire have received donations of £1,000 each as part of the Benefact Group’s Movement for Good Awards.
Members of the public were invited to nominate causes close to their hearts, with another 250 awards of £1,000 available now for donation.
Milton Keynes Bridgebuilder Trust, Animal Antiks and Lindengate are the local charities set to benefit from the money, after more than 3,000 residents voted for charities across the county so far.
Thanking supporters in Buckinghamshire, Mark Hews, Group Chief Executive of 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 the fourth largest corporate donor in the UK and has an ambition to be the biggest. Owned by a charity, all of its available profits go to good causes, and the more the group grows, the more the group can give. As a company whose purpose is to contribute to the greater good of society, charitable giving is at the heart of what we do. 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.”
A further 120 £1,000 grants will be given away in December and £500,000 will also be given in larger grants later this year - you can vote for your favourite charity online at: www.movementforgood.com
