**Ecclesiastical Insurance Group has launched its Movement for Good awards 2021,
offering for the third year running to give £1 million to charities.**

From today, people can nominate their favourite charity to win a donation of £1,000.
Last year over 253,000 people nominated a good cause.

This year donations will be made in two stages. In the first phase of the campaign
500 charities will each receive £1,000. Later this summer a second phase will see
a further 500 charities receiving their donation.

Mark Hews, Group Chief Executive of Ecclesiastical Insurance Group, explained how
Ecclesiastical operates:

> “Ecclesiastical, the fourth largest corporate donor in the UK, is a unique financial
> services group. We are owned by a charity, which means all available profits can
> be given to the good causes that are so important to our customers. As a company
> whose purpose is to contribute to the greater good of society, charitable giving
> is at the heart of our business.”

He added:

> “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.

Founded in 1887 to provide insurance for the Anglican Church, the company now offers
a wide range of commercial insurances, as well as home insurance, selling through
brokers and directly.
