Closer to you 2023

Thank you! Your participation in this year’s Closer to you charitable giving programme has donated almost £100,000 to over 50 charities. Overall, we have donated over £625,000 through this programme in the last seven years.

Read the inspiring stories from eight of the fantastic beneficiaries below.

Closer to you offers selected brokers the opportunity to support the charity they care most about. It’s very simple – you tell us who you would like your donation to go to, and we pay it on your behalf!

It’s a great way to enhance your client relationships and most of all, help to make a difference in your community. It’s all part of Ecclesiastical and Benefact Group’s aim to give all available profits to charitable causes. In September 2023, we were pleased to announce that we reached a major milestone of £200 million in donations on our road to give £250m to good causes by 2025.

If you were part of the programme, you and your charity may like to shout about the donation – it makes a fantastic story and is great for your public profile.
