A financial services group is giving away £120,000 to charities in the run-up to Christmas.

Across 12 days, Benefact Group's Movement for Good Awards will see 120 charities - ten per day - receive a £1,000 donation each.

The group is encouraging West Yorkshire residents to nominate charities to give them a chance of receiving a share of the award money.

The draws will take place every weekday between December 5 and 20.

Last year, more than 15,500 people from West Yorkshire nominated good causes to receive an award, according to a spokesperson.

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.

"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."
