Details

Movement for Good awards are available to charities that are changing people’s lives for the better. The public can nominate a charity they would like to see receive the money and competition winners will then be drawn at random.

They have supported a range of causes, from funding heat pads to keep hedgehogs warm to helping a telephone befriending service for isolated carers.

Between Jan 1st – Dec 2026, during this time anyone can nominate their favourite charity or charities for an award of £1,000 – it’s one nomination per charity, per person. The more nominations a charity gets, the better their chances of being drawn, so once you’ve nominated please share with your network. There are three £1,000 draws in 2026, so the earlier you nominate, the more chances your charity has of being drawn. Once nominated, you will remain in the draw for 2026 (excepting special draws, see below).

There will be three special draws throughout 2026, with awards of £5,000 for each of the following categories: Animals & wildlife; Health & wellbeing; & Community. If your charity is in the £1,000 draw, they'll need to be entered into the special draw too if eligible.
