PIPS Hope and Support is calling on supporters to nominate the charity to win a £1,000 festive financial boost as part of Ecclesiastical Insurance’s annual 12 days of giving Christmas campaign.
Now into its fifth year, the campaign sees the specialist insurer giving 120 different charities an early Christmas gift of a £1,000 donation, with 10 winners announced each weekday from 6 to 21 December.
It’s quick and easy to nominate PIPS Hope and Support online. Nominations are open from 8 November to 20 December, and you can vote for PIPS Hope and Support at VOTEFORPIPS
Winners will be drawn at random, and the more times PIPS Hope and Support is nominated the more chance it has of being selected.
PIPS Hope and Support relies heavily on fundraising and donations to deliver counselling services and educational programmes to individuals, groups, and communities. If successful, the £1,000 prize will help the organisation to continue delivering these fundamental therapies to anyone in the community experiencing suicidal thoughts, high levels of anxiety, poor mental health and those bereaved by suicide.
PIPS Hope and Support is encouraging everyone to use their social media channels to ask people to vote for them to give the charity the best possible chance of winning.
Padraig Harte, PIPS Hope and Support’s Fundraising Coordinator is encouraging everyone to take 30 seconds out of their day to vote for PIPS Hope and Support and to urge their family and friends to do the same. “PIPS Hope and Support, as many people know relies heavily on fundraising and donations and our community has always been responsive and we are appreciative of everyone’s continued support. We would love for the community to get behind this initiative and cast their vote online for PIPS Hope and Support. This prize is an opportunity for PIPS Hope and Support to develop our services further.
Mark Hews, Group CEO of Ecclesiastical, said: “As a commercial company with a charitable purpose, giving back is at the heart of our business. In fact, Ecclesiastical is the fourth largest corporate donor in the UK*
“Our annual 12 days of giving Christmas campaign has supported hundreds of charities over the past four years and I’m delighted that we will once again help charities change lives for the better.
“We know that for many charities £1,000 can make a real difference. We’re encouraging supporters to get their nominations in this Christmas to give them a chance of winning a festive financial boost.”
