Manchester charity celebrates grand share of £1 million fund

A youth charity in Manchester has received a £1,000 funding boost as part of Benefact Group’s Movement for Good Awards to support its vital work.

Community Little Hulton is a charity making things happen for Little Hultoners with activities, services, events, clubs, support, and training.

The charity provides a youth club to an older people’s games group and everything in between.

Community Little Hulton brings the community together to help new and existing community groups grow and develop, kick starting conversations about what could happen locally.

The £1,000 donation made as part of the Movement for Good Awards will be used to support their ongoing work, this includes their Food Club, Youth Unity sessions and wellbeing activities for all ages.

Benefact Group’s Movement for Good Awards is giving away more than  £1million to charities across the year and invites members of the public to nominate causes close to their hearts. 150 awards of £1,000 have been donated to charities across the UK and Ireland. Further winners will be revealed later in the year and Manchester residents are encouraged to keep nominating.

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 £1million to good causes each year through our Movement for Good Awards and are grateful to all our supporters, including the customers of the trusted insurer, Ecclesiastical, and the responsible and sustainable asset manager, EdenTree. 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.”
