Insurer launches annual £1m funding giveaway to charities

By Joe Lepper

Ecclesiastical Insurance Group has launched its £1m Movement for Good award scheme.

This will see 500 charities receive £1,000 each during the first round of funding. A second phases will launch later this summer.

The scheme involves public nomination for the funding. Last year more than 250,000 people nominated a charity.



Nominations are open until 13 June and winners will be drawn at random from nominations. “The more times a charity is nominated the more chance it has of being selected,” said the insurer.

Ecclesiastical Insurance Group chief executive Mark Hews said: “We’re delighted to announce the launch of Ecclesiastical’s Movement for Good awards for the third year running.

“Our Movement for Good 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 from the public last year and this year we are encouraging even more people to nominate a good cause.”

What has the pandemic taught us about the public’s perception of charities?
In this episode of the Charity Times Leadership podcast, we take a look at what the pandemic has taught us about the public’s perception of charities. Charity fundraising platform, Enthuse, recently released its quarterly donor research study, which highlighted significant shifts in donor behaviour throughout the duration of the pandemic. Not only does the report highlight an overarching sense of positivity towards the sector, but a propensity for younger generations to give more generously, too. Lauren Weymouth is joined by Enthuse CEO, Chester Mojay-Sinclare to discuss more.

The importance of the ‘S’ in ‘ESG’
In this episode, Lauren Weymouth is joined by Ketan Patel, equities fund manager at EdenTree, to delve into the issue of social investment and why that all-important ‘S’ in ESG is more relevant now than ever before. The social element of ESG often gets forgotten when thinking about investing in more ethical and sustainable ways. But, after a challenging year for all areas of society, social injustice has been highlighted, and there’s a much greater need for charities to put people at the heart of their investment decisions.
