We would like to thank every single person who took the time to nominate a cause close to their hearts as part of our annual 12 days of giving Christmas campaign. 

“Benefact Group is the third largest corporate donor in the UK and has an ambition to be the biggest. Owned by a charity, Benefact Trust, all of its available profits go to good causes, and the more the Group grows, the more the Group can give.
