Little Blue Heroes Foundation to receive a €5,000 donation
Ecclesiastical Insurance Ireland and its parent company, the Benefact Group, have announced the ten winning health and wellbeing charities who will each receive €5,000 as part of the Benefact Group’s 2023 Movement for Good Awards.
Little Blue Heroes Foundation in Ireland is among the causes to receive the awards, alongside other charities in England and Wales.
Little Blue Heroes Foundation provides relief and assistance to families who have children with serious illnesses. The organisation also fosters positive community engagement with An Garda Síochána as they grant the wish of children who want to become honorary Gardaí. The foundation also delivers Sarah’s Christmas gift to families, in memory of Sarah Robinson, who supported families with children with serious illnesses and passed away in 2019.
More than 120,000 people gave their time and nominated the health and wellbeing causes they care most about to receive one of the ten special grants that were available. The winning charities were then chosen at random from over 6,000 charities that were nominated.
In 2023, more than €1million will be gifted to charities up and down Ireland and the UK, following €4million being given to good causes since the initiative started in 2019.
This year, 420 charities will be awarded €1,000 donations, while 40 good causes will be awarded €5,000 sums via special grants throughout the year, aimed at helping charities in specific sectors. Winners will be drawn at random and the more times a charity is nominated the more chance it has of being selected. Further gifts totalling €500,000 will also be donated in larger amounts later this year.
