We are delighted to announced that Prader-Willi Syndrome Association UK (PWSA UK) has won a £1,000 Movement for Good award from Ecclesiastical Insurance Group thanks to nominations from our community.
PWSA UK is one of 500 winners in specialist insurer Ecclesiastical's Movement for Good awards, which is giving £1 million to charities this summer.
Members of the public were invited to nominate causes close to their hearts, with 500 gifts of £1,000 available for donation. More than 13,000 charities were nominated by more than 210,000 members of the public.
Susan Passmore, CEO at PWSA UK, said: “This is fantastic news. I would like to thank everyone who nominated us for this award and Ecclesiastical for enabling them to do so through its Movement for Good awards.
“This donation will help us to continue doing what we do best – supporting our PWS community and ensuring that we are only a call or a click away for those who need us the most.”
Mark Hews, Group Chief Executive of Ecclesiastical Insurance Group, said: “We would like to thank every single person who took the time to nominate a good cause as part of our Movement for Good awards. 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. 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.”
