Nominate a charity this Christmas

NOMINATIONS are being sought from Dumfries and Galloway for a Christmas charity cash campaign. Residents in the region are being encouraged to put forward good causes for the Benefact Group’s Movement for Good Awards. For 12 days in the lead up to Christmas the specialist financial services group is giving £1000 to ten charities each day - with 120 charities in total benefitting from a festive financial boost. Draws will take place every weekday until December 16 and nominating is easy using the online form at www.movementforgood.com. Winners are drawn at random with every charity nominated in with a chance of winning a vital donation this Christmas. Benefact CEO Mark Hews said: “We’re delighted to be giving away another £120,000 in valuable donations to causes around the country. We know that charities across the country are struggling, and for many the festive season is a critical time. "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.”
