Twelve charities supporting education have received a £1,000 funding boost in the first half of 2026 through the Benefact Group’s Movement for Good Awards, helping them continue to support the development of the next generation. Among the recipients were several Scout groups, including the Northern Ireland Scout Council, Davenham (Church) Scout Group and 6th Hove Scout Group.
School-related organisations to receive donations included The Acland Burghley School Trust, The Friends of Worple PTA, Goslings Playgroup, Friends of St Peter and St Paul Primary School, and Chalfont St Giles Infant School and Nursery PTA Association. Other beneficiaries included The Royal Albert Dock Liverpool Charitable Foundation, Stomping Grounds North East, Scottish Book Trust and Gordon Group Riding for the Disabled Association.
Now in its eighth year, Benefact Group Movement for Good is giving away more than £1 million to charities in 2026. Once again, members of the public were invited to nominate causes close to their hearts.
More charities chosen for support will be revealed later in the year, and everyone is encouraged to keep nominating by visiting https://movementforgood.com/.
Mark Hews, Group Chief Executive at Benefact Group, said: “We are hugely grateful that people continue to take the time to nominate good causes to receive a donation through Benefact Group Movement for Good. We understand the difference that £1,000 can make in helping charities continue their vital work, and we look forward to seeing the positive impact these donations will have on communities in the future.
“As an organisation owned by a charity, we donate all available profits to good causes, meaning the more our Group grows, the more we can give. Charitable giving is at the heart of everything we do, and we are delighted to donate more than £1 million each year to charities through this programme. We are hugely grateful for our supporters, including customers of trusted insurer Ecclesiastical and responsible investment manager EdenTree, who all play a role in making this possible.”
Having recently celebrated reaching the landmark amount of £250 million given in donations since 2014, Benefact Group is recognised as the third largest corporate giver in the UK over a decade.*
