PRICKLES and Paws Hedgehog Rescue based in Newquay has received a £1,000 funding boost as part of Benefact Group’s Movement for Good Awards to support the vital work they do in the area.
For the sixth year running, Benefact Group’s Movement for Good Awards is giving away over £1-million to charities across the year and invites members of the public to nominate causes close to their hearts.
Prickles and Paws Hedgehog Rescue provides a service of rescue, emergency care, rehabilitation and release for native British hedgehogs in Cornwall and the South West. As well as rescuing hedgehogs, the charity also aims to inspire learning and conservation by improving the knowledge and understanding of hedgehogs for the general public through educational workshops and online engagement.
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. 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. 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.”
Further winners will be revealed later in the year and residents across Cornwall are encouraged to keep nominating. To nominate a charity now visit www.movementforgood.com
