The Movement for Good Awards, spearheaded by the Benefact Group, is set to donate over £1-million to charities up and down the country in 2025.

Now in its seventh year, this transformative initiative is inviting residents in Cornwall to nominate their favourite charities for a chance to receive a donation of £1,000.

Cornwall 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.

Prickles and Paws Hedgehog Rescue (Newquay), Tamar Donkey Sanctuary (Gunnislake) and Histiocytosis UK (Liskeard) are some of the Cornwall causes that have previously benefitted from the funding thanks to more than 11,100 nominations from the public.

Mark Hews, group chief executive of Benefact Group, said: “Benefact Group is 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 £1-million to good causes each year through our Movement for Good Awards and are grateful to all our supporters. Our Movement for Good Awards help charities change lives for the better and we know that for many charities, £1,000 can make a real difference.”
