Charities could benefit from £1m pot

For the third year running, Ecclesiastical Insurance Group is giving away £1million to charities with the return of its Movement for Good awards.

People can nominate a cause close to their hearts for a potential £1,000 award to help make a difference.

500 charities will each receive £1,000 during the first phase of the campaign, with a second phase taking place later this summer.

Nominations close on June 13. People can vote for their favourite charity at www.movementforgood.com

Mark Hews, Group Chief Executive of Ecclesiastical Insurance Group, says: “We’re delighted to announce the launch of Ecclesiastical’s Movement for Good awards.

"Our awards will continue to help charities at a time when they need it most and we know that for many charities, £1,000 can make a real difference.

“We were thrilled to receive so many nominations last year and this year we are encouraging even more people to nominate a good cause.”
