Dave Croker, Bridgwater Guy Fawkes Carnival’s President, said: “Every year it’s getting more costly to stage our spectacular carnival, and therefore we are constantly looking at different ways of increasing our income.
“Every single penny helps, and winning this £1,000 prize would help us enormously as we look ahead to our 2024 carnival activities.”
Mark Hews, Group Chief Executive of Benefact Group, says: “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. Our Movement for Good Awards help charities change lives for the better and we know that for many charities, £1,000 can make a real difference.”
