A TRIO of county charities have received donations of £1,000 each as part of the Benefact Group’s Movement for Good Awards.
For the fourth year running, the group is giving away £1million to charities through its 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.
The Worcester Birmingham and Droitwitch Canals Society, Age UK Bromsgrove Redditch and Wyre Forest and The Myriad Centre Limited are the local charities set to benefit from the money, following overwhelming public support in the county. More than 2,000 kind-hearted residents have voted for charities across the county so far.
Mark Hews, group chief executive, said: “Owned by a charity, all of our 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 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.
