FIFE charities could receive £1,000 thanks to the Benefact Group’s Movement for Good Awards. 

Benefact's 12 Days of Giving Christmas campaign is giving away a total of £120,000 for 12 days in the lead-up to December 25. 

Mark Hews, group chief executive of Benefact Group, 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’re asking residents to take a few minutes of their time to nominate a cause they especially care about."

The specialist financial services group is giving £1,000 to ten charities each day - with 120 charities in total benefitting from a festive financial boost.

Nominations are open and residents are being encouraged to nominate a cause they care about to give them a chance of receiving a share of the award money.

Mr Hews continued: “Benefact Group is the third largest corporate donor in the UK and has an ambition to be the biggest.

"Owned by a charity, all of its available profits go to good causes, and the more the Group grows, the more the Group can give.

"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.”

Last year more than 17,700 people from across Scotland nominated good causes to receive an award, resulting in 12 charities landing donations.

Winners are drawn at random and the more times a charity is nominated the more chance it has of being selected.
